• This lemma is only attested with the radical consonant cluster 𐌲𐌲𐌵 for the more usual 𐌲𐌵 (which appears i.a. in the hencefrom derived 𐌿𐍆𐍃𐌰𐌲𐌵𐌾𐌰𐌽 (ufsagqjan)); these clusters are pronounced identically.
• Folio 2 verso, line 22 of the Codex Bononiensis (a poorly legible palimpsest) starts with sagqids; this is tentatively read by Falluomini as ufsagqids, with the uf located at the end of the previous line. If this word is read without prefix instead, this word can no longer be viewed as a hapax legomenon.^[2]
