Rye
=Rie, (Heb. kussemeth), found in Ex. 9:32; Isa. 28:25, in all of
which the margins of the Authorized and of the Revised Versions
have "spelt." This Hebrew word also occurs in Ezek. 4:9, where
the Authorized Version has "fitches' (q.v.) and the Revised
Version "spelt." This, there can be no doubt, was the Triticum
spelta, a species of hard, rough-grained wheat.
