   • Mark 4:28:

     For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. (KJV)

2. (in the plural) new moon festival; Rosh Chodesh
   • Colossians 2:16:

     𐌽𐌹 𐌼𐌰𐌽𐌽𐌰 𐌽𐌿 𐌹𐌶𐍅𐌹𐍃 𐌱𐌹𐌳𐍉𐌼𐌾𐌰𐌹 𐌹𐌽 𐌼𐌰𐍄𐌰 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿 𐌹𐌽 𐌳𐍂𐌰𐌲𐌲𐌺𐌰 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿 𐌹𐌽 𐌳𐌰𐌹𐌻𐌰𐌹 𐌳𐌰𐌲𐌹𐍃 𐌳𐌿𐌻𐌸𐌰𐌹𐍃 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿 𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐌹𐌸𐌴 𐌰𐌹𐌸𐌸𐌰𐌿 𐍃𐌰𐌱𐌱𐌰𐍄𐌿𐌼

     ni manna nu izwis bidōmjai in mata aiþþau in draggka aiþþau in dailai dagis dulþais aiþþau fulliþē aiþþau sabbatum

     Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days (KJV)

Neither the gender, nor the declension class, nor the quantity of the vowel of the second syllable is known for sure. The only attested forms are the accusative singular 𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐌴𐌹𐌸 (fulleiþ) (spelled to suggest long /iː/ in the second syllable) and genitive plural 𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐌹𐌸𐌴 (fulliþē) (spelled to suggest short /i/ in the second syllable). The analysis as a feminine i-stem is based on the assumption that the word contains the Proto-Germanic suffix *-þiz, which when added to the verb stem *fullj- would presumably have given *fulliþiz.

The sense “new moon festival” (translating Ancient Greek νεομηνία (neomēnía)) is surprising, as one might expect a word derived from 𐍆𐌿𐌻𐌻𐌾𐌰𐌽 (fulljan) to refer to the full moon rather than the new moon. Perhaps the sense is the completion of a month.
