porche1 (s.xii1)

[ gdw]

[ FEW: 9,223b porticus; Gdf: ; GdfC: 10,378b porche; TL: 7,1493 porche; DEAF:  porche; DMF:  porche 1; TLF:  porche; OED:  porch n.; MED:  porche n.; DMLBS: 2355a porticus ]
pocche  ii 40.80 porge  ii 88.157 proce; 
pl. porchis  

Deviant forms like pocche or proce are dubious and may be nothing more than scribal or editorial errors.

AND1 defined porchis, as used in Court Bar, as ‘field path (?)’, based upon the translation provided in the edition, and treats it as a separate article. However, there does not seem to be any etymological ground for that.
