   • 10th century, The Wanderer:

     Oft him ānhaga ·  āre gebīdeð,
     Metudes miltse, · þēah þe hē mōdċeariġ
     ġeond lagulāde · longe sċeolde
     hrēran mid hondum · hrīmċealde sǣ,
     wadan wræclāstas. · Wyrd bið ful ārǣd.

     A loner oft waits a grace for himself,
     Creator's mercy, even if he is sorrowful,
     through a sea-way he should for long
     stir the frost-cold sea with hands,
     travel paths of exile. Fate is well stalwart.

   • The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle

     An. DCCCCXLV Hēr Ēadmund cing oferhergode eall Cumbraland, ⁊ hit lēt eall tō Malculme Sċotta cinge on þæt ġerād þæt hē wǣre his midwyrhta æġþer ġe on sǣ ġe on lande.

     Year 945 In this year King Edmund overran all of Cumberland, and let it all to King Malcom of Scotland, on the condition that he would be his cooperator on both sea and land.

This word, like several locations and abstract concepts, almost never uses the definite article.

Occasionally it occurs as masculine:

• Middle English: see, ce, sæ, se, sea, sei, ze
  • English: sea
  • Scots: se, see, sey, seye, sie
  • Yola: zea, zee

• ēa (“river”)
• gārseċġ (“ocean”)
• mere (“lake”)
• strēam (“stream”)
