porche1 (s.xii1)

The form porge is a cross reference to the following entry:

porche1 (s.xii1)

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

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.
