severement1 (1325)

 
  FEW:  severus *11,553b Gdf: GdfC: TL: DEAF:  sever (*)  DMF: TLF: OED:  severely adv.  MED: DMLBS:  severe 3058a

The matching adjective, severe, appears to be unattested in Anglo-Norman. A single instance in Lapid 276.291 is not a genuine attestation, but an editorial modification of the manuscript reading serré (cf. serré1).

adv.

severely, harshly
( 1325 )  (people are being drowned on the sands of Morecambe Bay) si severement qe pité deust prendre chescun cristien  Rot Parl1 i 436

[gdw]
