Abstract
The publication of the letter G by the Dictionary of Old English (DOE) staff under the editorship of Antonette diPaolo Healey in 2007 was a significant milestone in itself, as is the publication of every fascicle, but also for Old English lexicography what stock-market technical analysts call a “breakout”—a moment when a line of psychological importance is crossed. Although the boundary between the letters G and His not with current alphabetization rules the halfway point in the Old English lexicon, that boundary has a peculiar history in Old English lexicography, peculiar enough that crossing it has resonance for those of us who have been working in the field for any length of time.
