使用する際の注意点

• If it is necessary to specify punching rather than another kind of hitting, the phrase mid fȳste (“with the fist”) may be added: Ġif man ōðerne mid fȳste in nasu slihþ, þrī sċillingas ("If someone punches someone else in the nose, three shillings [will be paid as compensation]") (Law of Æthelberht).

• Considering the phrases þunres sleġe (“clap of thunder”) and līeġetsliht (“lightning strike”), it is likely that lightning and thunder were said to "strike" (slēan), as in Modern English. The derived verb tōslēan was also used for this purpose.
