reverse spelling

Teaching assistants monitored accuracy of reverse spelling. Later in the session, students were asked to spell words in writing from each of the word sets practiced in the session.

The loss of ȝ between a front vowel and t, which Wyld finds in the middle of the fifteenth century but assigns to an earlier date,³⁵ is shown by both rhyme and spelling in knyght:whight (white) 562-63. The reverse spelling occurs again in whiȝte 566.
