"_Agg orm_, Swedish (viper), _agg worm_, Whitby (pron. w[=o]rrum).--_Bloa bær_ (bilbery), blue berry.--_By_ (village), as a termination to names of towns, occurs, perhaps, more frequently in this district than in others; there are some places in Cleveland called Lund and Upsal.--_Bæck_ (brook), beck.--_Djevul_ (devil), pronounced exactly in the Swedish manner at Whitby.--_Doalig_ (poorly), dowly.--_Eldon_ (tinder-box), applied to faggots.--_Fors_ (waterfall), spelt force and foss in Yorkshire books.--_Ful_ (ugly), pron. fool, usually associated with bigness in Cleveland.--_Foane_ (silly), pron. fond at Whitby.--_Giller_ (snare), guilder.--_Gæpen_ (handful), gowpen.--_Harr_ (grayling), carrling in Ryedale.--_Kætt_ (flesh), kett, applied to coarse meat.--_Lek_ (play), at Whitby, to lake.--_Leta_ (to seek), to late at Whitby.--_Lie_ (scythe), pron. lye.--_Lingon_ (red bilberry), called a ling berry.--_Ljung_ (ling).--_Lopp_ (a flea).--_Næbb_ (beak), neb.--_Skaft_ (handle), skaft.--_Skær_ (rock), Whitby skar.--_Smitta_ (to infect), to smit.--_Strandgata_ (creek), at Whitby ghaut.--_Stæd_ (anvil), steady.--_Sæf_ (a rush), siv.--_Tjarn_ (pool), tarn.--_Oenska_ (to wish for), we say to set one an onska, _i.e._ longing or wishing." Will any one inform me which of the above are Anglo-Saxon words? I may add that there are many French words in the Swedish for aught I know, some of them Norman. As we find German words in the Italian, we may expect to find Scandinavian in the French. CHARLES WATKINS. * * * * * SIR DAVID LINDSAY'S VIRIDARIUM. In Lord Lindsay's very interesting _Lives of the Lindsays_, vol. i. p. 347., after the description of the very curious "viridarium or garden" of Sir David Lindsay at Edzell, and of the various sculptures and ornaments with which its wall is decorated, the author says: "To show how insecure was enjoyment in that dawn of refinement, the centre of every star along the wall forms an embrasure for the extrusion, if needed, of arrow, harquebuss, or pistol."
