	Regarding the word form aroint, I am going to propose an etymological base for it in the group of French loanwords of the structure oin + consonant. As far as verbal loans are concerned, the root -oint can either stand for the 3rd pers. sing. pres. ind. or for the past participle of Old French verbs of the type poindre ‘to pierce, prick; to sting, bite’ (AND1: poindre), uindre, oindre ‘to anoint; to rub, smear’ (AND1: oindre). Apart from a short bibliography, the Appendix contains a selection of illustrative material.
