Thread 19486: Glossary of Scottish Words

Additions? Corrections? The glossary has been useful to me. Perhaps the complainant is thinking in terms of older Scottish words, some no longer used, such as those in Robert Burns poetry.

There is an alphabetical glossary for Burns, with some words that could be appended to the main thread.

Like the language south of the border, some words were regional and would not be used by all Scots, and others were invented or modified to fit rhymes- not much point in adding these poetic aberrants since they can be figured out by referring to the root word.

Moreover, some people are very touchy about what they consider to be the "proper" word- use the wrong one and you have grasped an aizle.
