sæ

1. indefinite accusative singular of sær
2. indefinite dative singular of sær

sæ

1. second-person singular present indicative of savéi; “ know (singular)”

From Old English sǣ.

sæ

1. Alternative form of see (“sea”)

• English: sea

From Proto-West Germanic *saiwi, from Proto-Germanic *saiwiz.

• IPA^(key): /sæː/

sǣ f

1. sea
   • 10th century, The Wanderer:

     Oft him ānhaga ·  āre gebīdeð,
     Metudes miltse, · þēah þe hē mōdċeariġ
     ġeond lagulāde · longe sċeolde
     hrēran mid hondum · hrīmċealde sǣ,
     wadan wræclāstas. · Wyrd bið ful ārǣd.

     A loner oft waits a grace for himself,
     Creator's mercy, even if he is sorrowful,
     through a sea-way he should for long
     stir the frost-cold sea with hands,
     travel paths of exile. Fate is well stalwart.

This word, like several locations and abstract concepts, almost never uses the definite article.

Occasionally it occurs as masculine:

• Middle English: see, ce, sæ, se, sea, sei, ze
  • English: sea
  • Scots: se, see, sey, seye, sie
  • Yola: zea, zee

• ēa (“river”)
• gārseċġ (“ocean”)
• mere (“lake”)
• strēam (“stream”)
