Abstract

The article focuses on the etymology of the Essex word releet. Topics include philologist Walter W. Skeat's publication of a note in 1878 arguing that the word was a survival of an Old English (OE) genitival construction, his claim on the prefix "re" in the word, and an evidence of the Essex word in several places in Suffolk, England.
