- Lily's Gram.[mar] Construed: Lily's rules construed: Whereunto are added Tho. Robinson's Heteroclites, the Latin syntaxis, also there are added the rules for the genders of nouns and preterperfect tenses and supines of verbs, in English alone. 1717, London : Printed by Roger Norton, printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Latin, Greek and Hebrew; dodkin (p.62 in The Syntaxis Construed: non emerian I bought it not teruncio for a dodkin leu or vitiosa nuce a worm eaten nut. The Dict. quote, "I would not buy them for a dodkin" is inexact, likely from memory.)
