  • Fala

    tabula,

    • Ep. Gl. 27 A, 11.
Etymology
[
The Erfurt Glossary has fala tabulo,
the Leiden and Corpus Glossaries have fala tubolo,
and in Wrt. Voc. i. 289, 60 the gloss is fealo tubulo.
If the Epinal Glossary gives the correct form fala may be connected with falod, fald, if the Latin forms with tub- are correct, fala might be compared (?) with Icel. falr the socket of a spear's head in which the handle is put. v. Ld. Gl. H. s. v. tubolo.
