22. traitor

Willoughby and Walker both stress B's preference for traitor over traytor, and the Paviers confirm this preference. Of the twenty-five (+J4) traytor forms in copy, B changes twenty-five (+J1) to traitor. All thirty-five (+J3) -i- forms in copy are retained by B. The only one (+J1) traytor form in B's texts is derived from copy.
