Rye
Rye =Rie, (Hebrews kussemeth), found in Exodus 9=>32; Isaiah 28=>25, in
all of which the margins of the Authorized and of the Revised Versions
have “spelt.” This Hebrew word also occurs in Ezekiel 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.
