Old French quotation[edit]

@Renard Migrant: The manuscript you linked to looks to me more like it says "de la dolor q̃ amena le pere". --WikiTiki89 20:15, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Agreed you can compare with with demener 5 lines later on. Renard Migrant (talk) 23:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hmm... The one five lines down looks like it is the same thing. I would think they are either both "dem-" or both "am-". I'm not experienced with Old French manuscripts, but the stroke on the top right of the "m" could be part of an "e" I guess. --WikiTiki89 15:18, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
s:fr:La Vie de saint Alexis which is from a 'collation of manuscripts' has demener for both (search for LXXXV. for the line reference). Renard Migrant (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Nor am I (experienced) which is why I'm trying to gain experience in this way. Renard Migrant (talk) 15:58, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, so it seems that "demena" is more likely. --WikiTiki89 16:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
