that have an _e_-vowel are Scandinavian loanwords. Ellis's list offers too few examples of words of this class. We find _hi'm_, _bi'n_, _hi'l, sti'n_, and in Murray's D.S.C.S. _heame_, and _heale_ (beside _geate_ (O.N. _gata)_, _beath_, _meake_, _tweae_, _neame_, etc.). This then proves that Sco. _haim_, _bain_, _hail_, and _stain_ are from O.E. _hām_, _bān_, _hāl_, _stān_ and not from O.N. _hæim_, _bæinn_, _hæil_, _stæinn_. _Mair_, in spite of its _e_-vowel, is not from O.N. _mæir_, for a following _r_ prevented the development to _i_, as a rule, although in Cumberland _meear_ is found beside _mair_. The word "steak" (O.N. _stæik_), which occurs in Ellis's list, has had an irregular development and cannot be considered here (see further Luik, 323). In the following works are found a number of words of this class: Westmoreland and Cumberland Dialects, by J.R. Smith. London. 1839. A Glossary of Words and Phrases of Cumberland, by William Dickinson. London. 1859. Folk Speech of Cumberland, by Alexander Craig Gibson. London. 1873. A Glossary of Words used in Swaledale, Yorkshire, by John Harand. E.D.S. 1873. Whitby Glossary, by F.K. Robinson. E.D.S. 1876. 21. A LIST OF SOME WORDS THAT ARE NORSE. FURTHER REMARKS. These all aim at giving the phonetic value of the sounds. O.E., O.N. _ā_ is represented by _ea_ or _eea_, indicating _i_-fracture. For instance: _heam_, _steean_, _neam_, _geat_, _beeath_, _leath_ (O.N. _laði_), _heeal_, _brea_ (O.N. _brā)_, _breead_ (O.E. _brād_, not O.N. _bræi), greeay_, _blea_, etc. Those that have _a_, _ai_, or _ay_, that is an _e_-vowel, and must consequently be derived from the corresponding O.N. words, are the following: BLAKE, _adj._ yellow, pale, O.N. _blæikr_. BLAKEN, _vb._ to turn yellow, N.N. _blæikna_. CLAME, _vb._ to adhere, O.N. _klæima_. CLAM, _adj._ slimy, deriv. CLAMING, _sb._ adhesive material, deriv. FLAY, _vb._ to frighten, O.N. _fleya_. FLAYTLY, _adv._ timidly, deriv. HAIN, _vb._ to save, protect, O.N. _hegna_. LAKE, LAIKE, _vb._ to play, O.N. _læika_, cp. O.E. _lācan_. LAKEING, _sb._ a toy, deriv. LAVE, _sb._ the remainder, O.N. _læifr_, cp. O.E. _lāf_. RATE, _vb._ to bleach, whiten, O.N. _rōyta_. M.L.G. _roten_, is out of the question, and *_reeat_ would be the form corresponding to M.L.G. _raten_. SLAKE, _vb._ to smear, daub, O.N. _slæikja_. O.L.G. _slikken_ does not correspond. SLAKE, _sb._ a kiss, deriv., cp. O.N. _slæikr_. SLAPE, _adj._ slippery, O.N. _slæipr_, cp. O.E. _slape_. SLAPEN, _vb._ to make smooth, O.N. _slæipna_, but possibly deriv. from _slape_. SNAPE, _vb._ to restrain, O.N. _snöypa_.
