Old English Ingere and Gere in Exodus

Alfred Bammesberger1

1 Catholic University of Eichstaett, Germany

The manuscript reading ingere in Exodus 33a has been emended in various ways. Since a simplex gere occurs both in Exodus and other Old English texts, it is suggested that ingere represents this very form with the intensifying prefix in-. The adverb gere can be justified within the grammatical system of Old English. Therefore the manuscript reading ingere, which makes good sense in its context, is not in need of an emendation.
