Subject: RE: Origins: Hand-Loom Weaver's Lament
What's the meaning of "crill"? Up above, Malcolm Douglas says "Karl Dallas (100 Songs of Toil, 1974) seems to have assumed it was a typo for chill. If it's a dialect word, it's one I haven't come across before!"

Dick Holdstock thinks it is Lancashire slang for "disgusted."

Any other ideas?
