Abstract
Abstract Title PLS 30 is concerned with four (Latin) insults for men, one for women (meretrix), and a defamation. In MS C6/H/D, the insult Lt. cinitus is glossed by a word for the female sexual organ (quinte), partly in a particular vocative form (in *-ō). – Another gloss appears in two additional paragraphs, though referring to a masculine form in one case (falsator) and to a feminine form in the other case (meretrix). Apparently, the word is related to modern German Strafe; its meaning seems to be close to ›accusation‹. – Another title dealing with insults is PLS 64 concerning witches. In this case, the central word is hereburgium, which might have originally stood for ›son of a witch‹.
