[seminus] (1113-19)

[gdw]

[ FEW: *11,433b seminare; Gdf: 7,373b seminos; GdfC: ; TL: 9,412 seminos; DEAF:  semer (seminos, semun); DMF: ; TLF: ; OED: ; MED: ; DMLBS: ]
semuns  

The emendation of semuns to seminus is suggested on etymological grounds and in analogy with the use of the Latin expression seminoso die, earlier in the text. However, this solution may be questionable, as a three-syllable emendation makes the verse hypermetric and lose the internal rhyme (semuns and nuns).
