rubee (s.xiii2/4)

[gdw]

[ FEW: *10,532a rubeus; Gdf: ; GdfC: ; TL: ; DEAF:  rubea; DMF: ; TLF: ; OED:  rubee n.; MED: ; DMLBS: 2861b rubeus (rubea) ]

Latin rubea; 
Latin acc. robeam,  rubeam  
ls(loanword: Latin (?))
le

As the OED etymology of the English word points out (Third Edition, 2011), the entry may be considered Latin rather than Anglo-Norman: not only are there the transparently Latinate forms (nominative singular in rubea and accusative singular in robeam and rubeam), but also the more Anglo-Norman looking form rubee may well be a genitive singular form of Latin rubea. However, the Anglo-Norman context suggests a certain level of vernacularisation.
