tethy

释义

† tethy, a. Obs. rare.
Also 5 tithy, thethy.
Of uncertain origin and meaning.
The sense of teethy a.¹ seems unsuitable. Can it be a corruption, or rather a series of errors, for tidy a., which occurs in this poem (and elsewhere) as an epithet of approval or praise, = good, excellent, worthy, apt, brave, doughty? But such an alteration of vowel and consonant in tidy is unknown elsewhere, and is phonetically unwarranted.
