>wesels - Liber Cure Cocorum #129, "For wesels". It's a capon-neck sausage
>or small haggis-like dish, but what does the name come from?
Wesel is an obsolete form of weasel. It's also a German city, one of the
Hanseatic League. So, it is possible that, these resemble a weasel or
originate in Wesel.

>storve - a verb - same source #127 "Storve myed wastel with cold ale"
>
>Cindy
Storve is an obsolete form of starve. I suspect that in this case the word
is being used to mean meager or poor.
