DePooperit Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Aboot 'skyilderin' Jakobsen gies twa different wirds: 1. skilter (sed 'skyilter') meanin 'dispersion' - 'dae'r a skilter i da sheep' the sheep are scattered (Unst). Dis seems ta be sib ta 'scail' meanin 'scattered'. 2. skilter (sed 'skyilter) - a shrill laugh. 'Dae'r a skyilter among da boys' wi a verb 'to laugh loudly.'

Medziotojas Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Here’s what the Concise Scots Dictionary has to say re 'mittle': mittle &c vt do bodily harm to, mutilate 19-,now Ags Per. [only Sc; eModEng mutile (once),F mutiler] I widda ösed mirackle ida past, bit nooadays I hae tae knap in oarder tae be understood. Movin’ on, I winder if da wird ‘dwaam’ comes fae da Dutch; I doot he mibbe does. I fan dis wird ida Concise Oxford English Dictionary: dwaal ■noun South African informal a dreamy, dazed, or absent-minded state. ORIGIN from Afrikaans ...an seein' as dis treed is aboot wird o da day, an bringin' it back apö an even keel: wale - select, single out wale oot da gimmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DePooperit Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Dwaam is widespread in Scots - originally 'dwalm'. Da SND (Scottish National Dictionary) says dis: [O.Sc. has dwalm, dwawm, etc., n. and v., from c.1500. Orig. deriv. of the ablaut series dwel-, dwal-, dwol-, as in O.E. dwe̢lian, to go astray, O.Teut. *dwaljan, O.E. dwolma, confusion. Cf. O.H.Ger. twalm, giddiness, O.Sax. dwalm, delusion.] http://www.dsl.ac.uk/ So hit leuks laek hit's a coamon Germanic wird at baith Dutch an Aald English is heired, redder as hit comin intae Scots fae da Dutch. Wale is, of coorse, weel-kent in Scots tui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
