noun
Vanhan ja Keski-englannin kirjoitustapa Crist - - lausutaan joko /iː/, joka on säilynyt kirkonnimissä, kuten St Katherine Cree, tai lyhyt /ɪ/, joka on säilynyt modernissa sanan "Christmas" ääntämisessä.
Prior to this, scribes writing in Old and Middle English usually used the spelling Crist - the i being pronounced either as /iː/, preserved in the names of churches such as St Katherine Cree, or as a short /ɪ/, preserved in the modern pronunciation of "Christmas".
