An iþe is an upstir þat bears birr as it fares from one ord to anoþer. Hy can be oferþƿart, its ƿrixelling uprigt to its bearings, or alengþ, scƿeesing and strecing abeat.

An oferþƿart iþe has a cop, its hext ord, and a troug, its neþermost ord. For an alengþ iþe, it has a scƿees, its most cruded ord, and a strec, its most spread ord.

Þe breadþ of þe iþe is þe greatest andefen of its ƿrixelling. Þe efenness is hƿere þe ƿrixelling is naugt or betƿeen its tƿo farþest ords. Þe time it takes to ƿrixel ones is its fack. Þe oftenness is hue many times þe iþe beats eac fack. Þe iþelengþ is þe farl it takes to fully ƿrixel.
