these three, but I'm unable to find any definitions on line, and I
think that's because they are from Middle English, and therefore
not legit in my book. So instead, please either define or tell me
that you already know:

Been having a very busy couple of months. I literally
didn't see this

until just now. If someone else can take this round, I'd
appreciate it.
