solerne (s.xii1)

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

solerne (s.xii1)

salerne;  solaire,  soleire,  sollerne  
  FEW:  solaris 12,35b Gdf:  soleire 7,454b / soloirre 7,460a GdfC: TL: soleire 9,796 DEAF:  soleire  / solerne  DMF:  solerne  TLF: OED: MED:  solerne n.  DMLBS:  subsolanus 3260a

There is considerable overlap between entries for soleire and solerne in the dictionaries. The DMF defines soleire as a south wind and solerne as an east wind, though both entries also make reference to a wind from the other cardinal point. DEAF defines both as 'east wind'. No related entry is found in the OED, and the MED contains a single entry for solerne (defined as 'an east wind'), pointing to its etymon as both soleire and solerne. Latin subsolanus refers solely to an east wind according to the DMBLS.
