Old Saxon unmet, Genesis B 313b ungemet, and unmetrical scribal forms in germanic alliterative verse

Abstract
The adverb ungemete, unigmetes in Beowulf and elsewhere in Old English verse creates significant metrical problems. I revive and expand the proposal of Fulk (1992) to read this as *unmet. This restoration receives support from metrics and from the comparison with Old Saxon unmet of the same meaning, and the alteration to ungemet(e), etc., in the manuscripts is easily explained by Old English scribal practices.
