GUEST,Allan C Scots words in Flower of Northumberland (20) RE: Scots words in Flower of Northumberland 12 Jan 10


I know it originally supposedly had a more exact meaning but certainly in the Borders at least the word 'ben' is now used for going into another room whatever that other room is. So someone saying "I'll come ben" is simply saying they are coming through from another room.
