Penny | Where is Spancil Hill? (204* d) | RE: Where is Spancil Hill? | 07 Mar 99 |
I looked up spancel, spancil etc. in a modern and an Anglo-Saxon dictionary. No luck, but there's a word spann or span, which survives nautically, apparently, which has the meaning of a binding, and could be a root for both the hobbling and the horrid meanings. |
