Usage notes

 * Like its modern Germanic cognates (🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬), this word referred to snails and slugs. Ælfric lists the word for a snail in particular as ġehūsod sneġel (literally “snail with a house”). No word for a slug in particular is attested; if one existed, it may have been *unġehūsod sneġel, or *nacod sneġel like 🇨🇬, or something else.
