Only words that are specifically Scotch in form or usage have been included. Very well known Scotch words, that occur in older Scotch as well as the modern dialects, such as _blether_, _busk_, _ettle_, _kilt_, etc., are given without references to texts where they have been found, otherwise one or more references are given in each case. For the sake of comparison and illustration Shetland and Cumberland forms are frequently given. Wherever a W. Scand. source is accepted for a loanword the O.N. form is given if it be different from O. Ic. Examples from Danish dialects or Swedish dialects are given as Dan. dial. or Sw. dial. Those from Norse dialects are cited as Norse simply. Those that are specifically literary Norse are cited as Dano-Norse. PART II. LOANWORDS. AGAIT, _adv._ uniformly. R.R. 622. Sco. _ae_, one, + O.N. _gata_ literally "ae way," one way. AGAIT, _adv._ astir, on the way. See Wall. AGROUF, _adv._ on the stomach, grovelling. Ramsay, II, 339. O.N. _á grúfu_, id. See _grouf_. AIRT (ę̆rt), _vb._ urge, incite, force, guide, show. O.N. _erta_, to taunt, to tease, _erting_, teasing. Norse _erta_, _örta_, id. Sw. dial. _erta_, to incite some one to do a thing.

ALGAIT, ALGATIS, _adv._ wholly. Douglas, II, 15, 32; II, 129, 31. See Kluge, P.G.(2)I, 938. ALTHING, as a _sb._ everything. Gau, 8, 30, corresponding to Dan. _alting_. "Over al thing," Dan. _over alting_. Not to be taken as a regular Sco. word, however. Gau has a number of other expressions which correspond closely to those of the Dan. original of Kristjern Pedersen, of which Gau's work is a translation. ANGER, _sb._ grief, misery. Bruce, I, 235. Sco. Pro. 29. O.N. _angr_, grief, sorrow. See Bradley's Stratmann, and Kluge and Lutz. The root _ang_ is general Gmc., cp. O.E. _angmod_, "vexed in mind." M.L.G. _anxt_, Germ. _angst_, Dan. _anger_. The form of the word in Eng., however, is Scand. ANGRYLY, _adv._ painfully. Wyntoun, VI, 7, 30. Deriv., cp. Cu. _angry_, painful, O.N. _angrligr_, M.E. _angerliche_. The O. Dan. vb. _angre_, meant "to pain," e.g., _thet angar mek, at thu skal omod thorn stride_ (Kalkar). APERT, _adj._ bold. Bruce, XX, 14. _apertly_, boldly, XIV, 77. Evidently from O.N. _apr_, sharp, cp. _en aprasta hrið_, "sharp fighting," cited in Cl. and V. Cl. and V. compares N.Ic. _napr_, "snappish," cp. furthermore _apirsmert_, adj. (Douglas, II, 37, 18), meaning "crabbed," the second element of which is probably Eng. _Apr_ in O.N. as applied to persons means "harsh, severe" (Haldorson). ASSIL-TOOTH, _sb._ molar tooth. Douglas, I, 2, 12. See Wall.
