• Sāriġ was not used as an apologetic interjection.
  • In other words, one would not simply say, *Sāriġ. to apologize for something.
• To express an apology, one used these verbs:
  • One could use forġiefan (in the imperative form) or belādian (in either the imperative form, or in the indicative with a reflexive pronoun of the one apologising) can be used: Forġief þū mē lēof! Þæt nis ġīet ġearu. ("Forgive me, sir! That's not ready yet.").
  • Alternatively, ofþynċan may be used: Mē ofþyncþ þæt wē fliton ("I'm sorry that we quarrelled", literally "It displeases me that we quarrelled").

• Middle English: sory, sari, sary, soory, sori, sorry, sariȝ, særi (Early Middle English)
  • English: sorry (see there for further descendants)
  • Scots: sairy
  • Yola: sorry (noun)
