Etymology
'Æðelweald-farm' v. ingtun . The form found in DB and later is not to be regarded as a reduction of the fuller OE form but rather as an alternative name in which the pers. name was directly prefixed to tun without any use of either the -ing - element or, what is even more rare, any use of the genitival suffix in -es .
