Forms: α. 1–2 Iudeisc. β. 3 Iudaysse. γ. 2–3 (Orm.) Iudissken.
[These are more or less distinct formations. The OE. adj. was Iudéisc (f. Iudéa Judea, Iudéas Jews) = OHG. Iudeisc; hence early ME. Iudeisc, and prob. Iudaysse (in which I prob. meant J). Ormin had (beside Iudewisshe) the distinct form Iudissk (always Iudisskenn, inflected form, ? gen. pl.), with which cf. OHG. judisk, MHG. judisch, Ger. jüdisch.]
= Jewish.
