The "Sermo Lupi", as with all of Wulfstan's literary works, is known for its frequent, almost habitual, use of intensifying phrases. Examples from the passage above include "oft & gelome" "often and frequently" and "swyþe þearle" "very terribly." Other intensifying phrases frequently used by Wulfstan, in the "Sermo Lupi" and in other of his works, are "ealles to swyðe" "altogether too much", "georne" "eagerly", "mide rihte" "in right manner", "for Gode and for worulde" "for God and for world", among others.
