Subject: RE: Scots Glossary
Thanks for all the usefull comments but thankfully I had my aizle removed during a recent hernia operation so i feel confident enough to pursue the thorny problem further..
It would be a bit pedantic to go throughthe whole list but two on the first page stand out "A maiter o" is given as the scots equivalent of "as much as"..It should be "pertaining to"
"A thocht" is given as "the least bit"...what is that all about.
"A thocht or Ah thocht.......I thought
"Ae thocht.....One thought
Surely in a folk music site its important
that we dont end up singing like Rambling Syd...
          All the best Ake...
