Coningar, a word sometimes occurring in Scottish local nomenclature,
and which meant a rabbit-warren--Coniger, Coney-garth. I know two
Coningars in Aberdeenshire, but the meaning of the word is as much
forgotten there also.--H. W. L.'

and, mixed with rum, is rubbed into weak backs, or legs, especially of
children.
