rumpure (c.1240)

rumpure (c.1240)

 
  FEW:  rumpere 10,567a Gdf:  rompeure 7,232b GdfC: TL: rompëure 8,1445 DEAF:  rompre (rompeüre)  DMF:  rompure  TLF: OED:  rumpure n.  MED: DMLBS:

The word as used in A-N Falconry is not transparent: it refers to an ornithological disease that if not treated well can lead to jaundice (felere) and that can become cicatrized (sursané). The current definition is one possibility, although the word might also be interpreted as a type of hernia, a surface wound, or even a bone-fracture. The DMLBS glosses the word in a similar context simply as ‘disease of hawks’ (ruptura 2874a).
