Note 1 — Chapter XVII · Comparison of Adjectives and Adverbs.
Reading edition
This is really a double superlative, m being itself an old superlative suffix. Cf. Latin opti-m-us. In Mn.E. northmost and hindmost, -m-est has been confused with -most, with which etymologically it has nothing to do.
2. Sige usually, but not invariably, precedes habban.
3. See p. 100, note on gefeaht.
4. The proper noun comes first in appositive expressions: Ælfred cyning, Sidroc eorl, Hēahmund bisceop.
