rois1 (1394)

[gdw]

[ FEW: *10,11b racemus; Gdf: ; GdfC: ; TL: ; DEAF:  raisin (*); DMF: ; TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
 

The citation is obscure, and it is possible to consider the word an incomplete variant of raisin in need of emendation (to rois[in]). Alternatively, the fruit in question may also be a type of fig: the MED, sub fige n., includes fige of Amalek with the sense of ‘Malaga fig’, while the DMLBS, sub ficus1, attests to figs of ‘Tanill’ and ‘Mallek’.

s._pl.

1fruita dried fruit, perhaps raisin or fig
( 1394 )  Item [...] en .j. piece rois de Mallek [...] .v. couple demi de ffyges et rois de Tanell’  f. 35r
