 * If it exists, it could be referring to bitumen, which is also sometimes called asphalt. —Mahāgaja · talk 06:04, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The passage about Noah's ark in Genesis 6:14 uses in the Septuagint translation,  in the Vulgate, and  in the English translations. Does that passage occur in Old English? Looking at BT's entry for, it seems like that word was used by itself for all kinds of tar, bitumen, pitch, etc. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:41, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * 's translation of Genesis uses, which is not the expected dative of . It seems to be from a weak noun (n-stem) whose nominative would be if masculine and  if feminine or neuter. —Mahāgaja · talk 09:33, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Bosworth-Toller does have an entry for eorþ-tyrewa, a masculine n-stem. —Mahāgaja · talk 09:38, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Moved to eorþtyrewa with BT ref added. —Mahāgaja · talk 08:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
