- Published
- Journal of English and Germanic Philology 95 (1996): 497-514.
- Description
- Larry Benson's understanding of "queynte" as an adjective (SAC 9 [1987], no. 54) is untenable since it depends on a rhyme pattern inadmissible in Chaucer. The true meaning is the traditional one of "pudendum."
