On the subject of adopted words in Scotland--many a Scots kid honed his football skills on a "cahouchie ba' ". Amazonian jungle natives have a word for the rubber which is tapped from the trees---"caouchouc". Another is the Boer word "stiever" --a coin in use in S.A. at the time. How many of us have heard the Scottish expression "Ah haenae got a stiever!"? The urdu [hindu?] word "Brahma" has also become usage in Scotland and Northern English counties describing some thing which in the eye of the beholder is worthy of high praise. Usually comes across as "brammer".
