† warpfatn.
Obsolete.
? = , (warping-fat n., warping-trough n. at warping n.1 Compounds 3). The Old English word glosses calathus, which should mean either ‘basket’ generally (cf. ‘Vimen, wearp,’ Corpus Glossary) or ‘basket for thread.’ The rendering alueolus in the Cath. Angl. apparently means a trough.
