songerie (s.xiii2)

[gdw]

[FEW: 12,86b somniare; Gdf: 7,474c songerie; GdfC: ; TL: 9,842 songerie; DEAF:  songe (songerie); DMF:  songerie; TLF:  songerie; OED:  songuary n.; MED:  songewarie n.; DMLBS: ]
soungerye,  songonaire (l. songuiaire?) soungnarie (l. sounguarie?)  

The etymological note of the OED (songuary n. third edition, 2017) suggests that the spelling songonaire and soungnarie may be the correct resolution of the u/n confusion, with the unetymological n introduced in analogy with Latin somnus and somniaria. However, English only attests the u spelling, and the Anglo-Norman form songonaire (with what appears to be an unetymological -on addition to the root) is more easily interpreted by taking oua as a variant of ua.
