noun
Ae  n.  A diphthong in the Latin language; used also by the Saxon writers. It corresponds to the Gr. ai. The Anglo-Saxon short ae was generally replaced by a, the long ae by e or ee. In derivatives from Latin words with ae, it is mostly superseded by e. For most words found with this initial combination, the reader will therefore search under the letter E.

It will be noticed that these substitutions become increasingly frequent, as we approach fol. 12 (end of signature ...
