使用する際の注意点

• In the sense of fighting with or against someone, as in Sense 1 above, feohtan was generally not used transitively, as in *hēo feaht þone dracan ("she fought the dragon"). Instead it was used with a preposition such as on, onġeġn, or wiþ, all meaning "against": hēo feaht wiþ þone dracan (literally "she fought against the dragon"). When used transitively, it meant to fight to gain or obtain something: hēo feaht þæs dracan hord ("she fought to obtain the dragon's horde"), as per Sense 2. Combining both senses was also possible: hēo feaht wiþ þone dracan his hord ("she fought against the dragon to obtain its horde").
