᛫ ƿafe

A ƿafe is an upstir þat bears ellen as it fares from one ord to anoþer. It can be þƿireƿise, its ƿrixelling uprigt from its ƿising, or lengþƿise, scƿeesing and strecing abeat.

A þƿireƿise ƿafe has a cop, its hext ord, and a troug, its neþermost ord. For a lengþƿise ƿafe, þe cop and þe troug efenmaces ƿiþ þe scƿees and þe strec.

Þe breadþ of þe ƿafe is þe greatest andefen of its ƿrixelling. Þe efenness is hƿere þe ƿrixelling is naugt or betƿeen its tƿo peaks. Þe time it spends for ƿrixelling ones is þe fack. Þe oftenness is þe times it beats for efery mete of time, and þus, is þe hƿelf of þe fack. Þe ƿafelengþ is þe farl it nims to fully ƿrixel.

oferlap
Hƿen tƿo ƿafes meet, hy eke to eac oþer's breadþs.

A full unbilding oferlap is hƿen hy utterly fordo eac oþer. But hƿen her breadþs are only ƿiþerƿise but not þe same in greatness, hy only slake eac oþer, begetting hƿat is yclept a sumdeal unbilding oferlap.

A midbilding oferlap is hƿen her utecum is greater þan eiþer ƿafe.

Tƿo ƿafes are in step, if her cops are lined up, hƿereas hy are ute of step if one's cop and anoþer's troug are lined up.

Floƿ is lasting dealt by bredspan. Ƿafes span þis þougt, sins hy are ellenbores.

speed
Þe speed of a ƿafe hincges on þe many costs of þe feeld þroug hƿic it streens. For strings, þese costs are þenning and lengþƿise crudedness, þat is, bulk for efery mete of lengþ. Hy are longed to eac oþer þroug þis onalikeness: þe speed is þe root of þe þenning dealt by þe lengþƿise crudedness. Þis metes þe speed of þe motes in þe string.

In stirlore, speed is farl dealt by time. Spelling þese forerimes geelds: speed is ƿafelengþ dealt by fack. Þe hƿelf of þe fack is oftenness, and þus: speed is also þe uteput of ƿafelengþ and oftenness. Þis is þe speed of þe ƿafe as it ƿades þroug a feeld.
