Etymology
Related to.

It is not certain that this word in fact existed as a noun; it has also been credibly suggested that the attestation wulþrais (in Codex Ambrosianus A; this would morphologically be the genitive of an i-stem noun) is to be viewed as the genitive to a noun wulþris derived from a comparative adjective; the parallel attestation wulþris (in Codex Ambrosianus B) would then simply be the nominative. A comparative adjective is in fact attested elsewhere as, which suggests the existence of an adjective *wulþrs. For more, see references below; Falluomini's reading (both a noun and an adjective *wulþrs existed) is followed here.

Noun

 * 1)  significance, importance, meaning

Usage notes

 * This word may have also have had a more specialized meaning as a technical term used by scribes, as suggested by the occurrence of this term in the Praefatio to the Codex Brixianus.

Declension
Attested in only one place in the corpus, but in two manuscripts: Codex Ambrosianus A has the expected genitive singular form, whereas Codex Ambrosianus B has.
