vynes

Vynes is an archaic English noun used as the plural of vyne, an older form of the word vine, meaning a grapevine or a vineyard. In modern English, the standard plural is vines, and vynes survives primarily in historical texts, literary quotations, or discussions of historical language.

Etymology: Vynes derives from vyne, which comes from Old French vigne or vine, from Latin vitis. The spelling with vy and a final e was common in Middle English and Early Modern English, and it declined in favor of the contemporary vine and vines by the 18th century.

Usage: In historical documents and glossaries, vyne and its plural vynes appear alongside vine and vines. In scholarly work on linguistics or viticulture history, vynes may be cited as an illustration of archaic orthography or older wine-growing terminology. Today, common usage is simply vine and vines.
