FORELDERS, _sb. pl._ parents. Gau. 15, 2. Dan. _forældre_, Sw. _föräldrar_, Norse _foreldre_, parents. In the sense "ancestors" the word is general Gmc, but the above use is specifically Scand. In Sco. the word usually has the general sense. Gau has Dan. elements that are not to be found in other Sco. works. FORJESKIT, _adj._ jaded, fatigued. Burns, 44, 29. Dan. _jask_ adj., _jaske_ vb. to rumple, put in disorder, _jask_, a rag, _jasket_, _hjasket_ left in disordered condition. Dan. dial. _jasked_, clumsy, homely. Sw. dial. _jaska_, to walk slovenly and as if tired, _jasked_, adj. in bad condition. R.L. Stevenson in "The Blast" uses _forjaskit_ in the sense of "jaded." The prefix _for_ may be either Eng. or Dan. FORLOPPIN, _adj._ renegade. Sat., p. 44, 243. The pp. of _loup_, to leap, to run, with intensive prefix _for_. See _loup_. Cp. the Norse _forloppen_ from _læupa_, used precisely in the same way, and the Dan. dial. _loben_. _Forloppin_ as sb., Dunbar, 139. See also _loppert_. FORS, _sb._ a stream. O.N. _fors_, N.Ic. and Norse _foss_, Dan., Sw. _foss_, stream, waterfall, O.N. _forsa_, to foam, spout. The word is very common in Norway, not so common in Sweden and Denmark. FORTH, _sb._ Dunbar, 316, 63. Same as _firth_. FRA, FRAE, _prep._ and _conj._ from, since. Aberdeen form _fae_. O.N. _frá_, from, Dan. _fra_, Norse _fra_, Sw. _frå_. Deriv. from "from," according to Wall, by analogy of _o'_, etc. I do not believe so. It is first found in Scand. settlements and is confined to them. Besides _m_ would not be likely to fall out. The case is quite different with _f_ and _n_ in "of" and "in" when before "the." Furthermore, the conjunctive use of _fra_ as in Sco. is Norse. FRECKLIT, FRECKLED, _adj._ flecked, spotted, differing slightly from the Eng. use. Douglas, II, 216, 5; Mansie Wauch, 18, 5, "freckled corn." O.N. _freknur_. See Kluge and Lutz, and Skeat. In M.W. above: "The horn-spoons green and black freckled." FREND, _sb._ relation, relative. Wyntoun, VII, 10, 354. O.N. _frændi_, kinsman, O. Dan. _frændi_, Norse _frænde_, Sw. _frände_, id. O.E. _frēond_, O.H.G. _friunt_, O. Fr. _friond_, _friund_, M.L.G. _vrint_, "friend." Cp. the Sco. proverb: "Friends agree best at a distance," relations agree best when there is no interference of interests, Jamieson. FRESTIN, _vb._ to tempt, taunt, also to try. Gol. and Gaw., 902, 911; Ramsay, I, 271. O.N. _fræista_, to tempt, Norse _freista_, _frista_, to tempt, try, O. Sw. _fresta_, Dan. _friste_, Sw. dial. _freista_, to attempt, O.E. _frāsian_. GANAND, _adj._ fitting, proper. Dunbar, 294; Douglas, II, 24, 19. Pr. p. of _gane_. Cp. Eng. fitting. See _gane_.
