Note 132 — Chapter III · THE GÁ OR SCÍR.
Reading edition
Where the country is considered as a territorial division, rather than with reference to the race that possesses it, instead of sætan or setan, the settlers, we have sæte, the land settled; thus Sumorsæte. So Eástseaxe for Eástseaxan or Eástseaxna land; Cent for Centingas or Cantware; Lindisse for Lindisware.
