88r c notes

[^2]: Many dictionaries: http://logeion.uchicago.edu/index.html#concedes After looking elsewhere in PHM, I think he means some kind of step-- eg, the triangle step in the scythe section is "in triangulum concedas." Whitaker says concedas is the pres subj form of condedes (which is fut ind). [^3]: logeion has thoughts but doesn't seem to have any actual examples of quosuis: http://logeion.uchicago.edu/index.html#quosuis it does appear to be a frequent medieval latin word: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22quosuis%22&tbas=0&source=lnt&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi95M3by5nXAhVn04MKHSCgDjoQpwUIHw&biw=820&bih=749 [^4]: concessum-- adj. doesn't make sense to do this one as step, since then it would have to be passive (he having been stepped to you) [^5]: I don't know what to do with this one [^6]: is this even a word?
