     jah biþē usdribans warþ unhulþō, rōdida sa dumba, jah sildaleikidēdun manageins qiþandans: ni aiw swa uskunþ was in israēla.

     And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.(KJV).

• The word is feminine, but it is used very commonly (far more so than the male equivalent 𐌿𐌽𐌷𐌿𐌻𐌸𐌰 (unhulþa)) to translate the Greek term δαιμόνιον (daimónion), which is of neuter gender.
