bealuwara - a unique compound assumed to be from "bealu - evil" and "ware - inhabitant". There have been suggestions for emendation and the metre does raise queries. Mitchell, Old English Syntax §1240 argues that "bealuwara weorc" and "sarra sorga" are parallel objects of "gebiden hæbbe" and this is an indication of the weakening of the case patterning of Old English. Britten suggests that "bealuwara weorc" should be taken as a nominative phrase in apposition to "ic". This would seem to improve the syntax and tie in neatly with the "strange feondas" of line 31 who fashioned the Cross making it a work of those "dwellers in evil".
