vanishedone commented on the word lessilver
A bit of a mysery: 'Etym., sense, and form doubtful', sayd the O.E.D., which just marks it obs. without providing a positive definition, only a 1706 quotation which calls lef-silver 'a Duty paid by the Tenants to the Lord, for leave to plough and sow in the time of Pannage, or Mast-feeding'.
