G.3.118KD.2.116 and sayd to cyuvyle now sorow mote youG.3.118:Kane and Donaldson interpret G's reading here as þou but for that the scribe would normally have written thorn plus superscript <u>. The use of inline <ou> makes it clear that
the scribe intended "you." For the scribe's usual practice as far as the written forms of these two words are concerned,
see G.1.199, G.2.2, G.2.14, G.2.15, G.2.17, G.2.19 etc. (for "you"), and G.2.5, G.2.36, G.2.43, G.3.46, G.3.48 etc. (for "thou"). The rule, in the case of these as well as other words (such as "the" and "ye") is that
<þ> is always followed by superscript letters, and <y> by inline letters. That the scribe did sometimes confuse <y> and <þ>
when they appeared in his exemplar is clear, for example, from the reading at G.3.204 where he writes <the> for <ye>. At
G.4.351 the scribe himself corrects an error of this type, crossing out superscript <e> and replacing it with inline <e> (the correct
reading is ye). hauve
