Subject: RE: scots dialect/phrases From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 05 Jul 19 - 07:17 PM Scots and English of course share much of their vocab. Take away the spelling/pronounciation differences and I would think the majority of Scots vocab is shared with English or had been shared with English. So just because something is in a Scots dictionary it doesn't mean it is exclusively Scots. |

Subject: RE: scots dialect/phrases From: Jack Campin Date: 05 Jul 19 - 07:24 PM There is a German novel by Christa Wolf titled Kein Ort, Nirgends which literally means "No Place, Nowhere" (the English translator called it "No Place On Earth"). From which I guess that German "Ort" is cognate with Scots "airt". |
