The use of                ou in Old English to represent the sound of modern                English oo was borrowed from the French, and replaced                the older and Anglo-Saxon spelling with u. It makes no                difference whether the word was taken from the French                or not, provided it is old enough in English to have                suffered this change to what is now the common sound of                ou; but words taken from the French at a later time, or                influenced by French, may have the French sound.          {Wound gall} (Zo[94]l.), an elongated swollen or tuberous             gall on the branches of the grapevine, caused by a small             reddish brown weevil ({Ampeloglypter sesostris}) whose             larv[91] inhabit the galls.
