JeffB | Irish word 'scutch'? (47) | RE: Irish word 'scutch'? | 01 Jun 10 |
To wind up this thread for the benefit of those of us who are fascinated by words, the meanings of "hit" and "work flax" are related through the OE "scutch" - "to beat lightly; dress flax". Related to "scotch", to cut. Although OE, originally a Viking word from a Swedish root. |
