Is this attested in English, as opposed to Scots? - -sche (discuss) 03:11, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Digging through Google Books, the closest I found is this explanation in the Plowman's Creed; pretty much everything else is in dictionaries or explanations of Burns, and usually "dialect" or Scottish dictionaries. (Samuel Johnson's dictionary has it; might be worth a note at dictionary-only words, or a simple acceptance that what we consider Scottish he considered English.) I'd be a little surprised if someone found something else in Google Books, but there was a lot of noise, so it's not impossible. Cites in the New English Dictionary (volume 5, page 474) are from Burns and Thoughts on the seasons, &c. partly in the Scottish dialect, by David Davidson.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * RFV failed: no quotations provided for the English term; Scots not nominated. As an auxi check, absent in almost all online dicts. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:34, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
