Probably this is way too late to be any use. I puzzled for a long time over "wahnie" too, but actually the Dictionary of the Scots Language does explain it if you select "full entry" rather than "headword" for the search. It even gives this line from "The Sodger's Cairn" as an illustration. It's a diminutive of "wand", and the meaning given is "fishing rod". |
