   • late 9th century, translation of Orosius' History Against the Pagans

     Be þām hringum man meahte witan hwæt Rōmāna duguþe ġefeallen wæs, for þon þe hit wæs þēaw mid him on þām dagum þæt nān ōðer ne mōste gyldenne hring werian būtan hē æðeles cynnes wǣre.

     You could tell by the rings how much of the Roman nobility had fallen, because the custom back then was that no one could wear a gold ring unless they were from a noble family.

使用する際の注意点

• To convey the sense "made of [material]," Old English typically uses adjectives like gylden, seolfren, and triewen instead of compounds. Thus wool socks are wyllene soccas, not *wulsoccas; an oak table is ǣċen bēod, not *ācbēod; a dirt floor is ierþenu flōr, not *eorþflōr; etc. There are however a few exceptions, such as stānweall (“stone wall”).
