Dagfinn Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 O.K. Just to go back to what this thread is all about Sheatlan Wird o´Da Day. I posted the Sheatlan word "staand" in the meaning "erection" It has a Faroese cousin; "standing" Is it a Scots (or English) word as well?

Guest Anonymous Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Weel, weel, eftir aa dis time, a wird dat I ken a lok aboot. I hed mony a staand (maybe should be spelled staund), whin I bed atil da isle.Bit noo dat a'm ower da waater i Norge, I siffer fae a Ståpikk. Da 'Stå' bit bein da sam as 'staand'Bit, I tink dat da Shetland 'staand', meaning stiff pillie, is maist laekly fae Scots/English, as dey aa use 'stand' ta mean 'erect phallus'.Though maist o da English ir ower little wirt ta raise a kirsin staand..

Dagfinn Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 stiff pillie"stÃvur pilli" in Faroese Bit, I tink dat da Shetland 'staand', meaning stiff pillie, is maist laekly fae Scots/English, as dey aa use 'stand' ta mean 'erect phallus'. Yes, and it was most likely introduced into Faroese from Scots/English as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trønder Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 fleegit,gluffed.What do these mean? "Scruv" water surface.That looks like the Norwegian word "skruv" (Old Norwegian "skrúfr") that means the top or upper edge of something.

thekid Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 A word i still use but seems to be dying out is "trap" meaning "ladder". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trønder Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 A word i still use but seems to be dying out is "trap" meaning "ladder".We have that word in Norwegian as well, meaning "staircase". The dictionary says that it comes from the Low German "trappen", so we have probably gotten it from the same source, the Hanseatic League.
