īere n (Early West Saxon)

1. ear (projecting back of an axe)

• This word's exact gender and declension are uncertain, as it is attested only in the dative singular. However, based on the word's form and on its seeming cognate in Old High German ōri, it seems that this word was a neuter ja-stem.
• In this word's few attestations (at least four times as ⟨ȳre⟩ and at least once as ⟨ēre⟩), it appears consistently with the collocate æx.

Strong ja-stem:

• ēare
