Schūpe will occur again, much later, in one of the first English dictionaries, the Catholicon anglicum. ABSTRACT: The glossary in Cambridge, St John’s College, E.17 (120) features two occurrences of schūpe, a by-form of Middle English hēpe ‘rose hip’.

La forma che ricorre per la prima volta nel glossario presenta la stessa evoluzione fonetica della consonante iniziale di una serie di toponimi e di voci dialettali come shoop. Schūpe ricomparirà, molto più avanti, in uno dei primi dizionari inglesi, il Catholicon anglicum. Cambridge, St John’s College, E.17 (120) presenta due occorrenze di schūpe, una forma secondaria di medio inglese hēpe ‘cinorrodo, frutto della rosa canina’.
