Halliwell gives _rundel_ as used with the same signification in England, and he gives _ryn_ in the same sense from an old manuscript.] [Footnote 27: _Juberous_ is in none of the vocabularies that I have seen.

I once treated this word in print as an undoubted corruption of _dubious_, and when used subjectively it apparently feels the influence of dubious, as where one says: "I feel mighty juberous about it." But it is much oftener applied as in the text to the object of fear, as "The bridge looks kind o' juberous." Halliwell gives the verb _juberd_ and defines it as "to jeopard or endanger." It is clearly a dialect form of _jeopard_, and I make no doubt that _juberous_ is a dialect variation of _jeopardous_, occasionally used as a form of _dubious_.].
