“EERAM, s. A boat-song; a rowing song; apparently the same with Joram. Saxon and Gael. JORRAM, Joram, Jorum, s. 1. Properly a boat-song, slow and melancholy. Heart of Mid-Lothian. 2. Sometimes used with greater latitude, though with less propriety, to denote a song in chorus, although not a boat-song. Saxon and Gael. 3. Improperly used to denote a drinking-vessel, or the liquor it contained in it, S. Hence, Push about the Jorum is the name of an old Scottish Reel, or tune adapted to it.” [A Dictionary of the Scottish Language, Jamieson, Johnstone, 1846]
