it does yes , as da old fok used ta say about a gale bein a sook, which, if i understand correctly (n by god al be pounced on if i'm not) wind is generally suction of a low pressure drawing on a high. Also talking of wind , a stoor a wind is definately Norse/Norwiegan as it stands as stor is big.

 

A 'sook' is da drying affect o da wind so dusna hae tae be a gale. e.g "he's no muckle sook da day" or "he's sooking up fur snaa"

 

wind is da movement o air fae an area o high pressure tae wan o low pressure, no really due tae wan sookin fae da idder as such, bit due tae cowld air sinking tae produce da high an hot air rising tae produce da low.

Hoodie Maa = Black-headed Gull

 

Danish 'Hætte-måge' Hætte = Cap (referring to the black part that looks like the bird is wearing a Cap :? )

 

But what does Shetland 'Hoodie' referr to? The English 'headed' or the Danish 'hætte=Cap'?

 

Well, as Njugle says, it's the same as Hoodie-craa, which in English is a hooded crow. A hood is neither a head nor a hat, but quite similar to both :wink:
