| 释义 | > as lemmasto owe (also have) a wold (also on wield) Phrases to owe (also have) a wold (also on wield); (also) to owe (also have) wield. Cf. to have on onwald at onwald n. [Early Middle English awold in the phrases ouen awold , haven awold apparently should be interpreted as continuing Old English on gewealde (in on gewealde habban ; compare on (one's) i-wald at i-wald n. and the Germanic forms cited with that phrase), with phonological reduction of both the preposition (compare a prep.1) and the prefix of the noun; compare to have on wield with direct object in quot. a1225 at Phrases a. This seems more likely than that awold represents a phonologically reduced form of i-wald n. (compare a- prefix2) or onwald n. (compare a- prefix3).] a.
