Peel, A. A disturbance, noise. “To be in a peel,” means, to be in a passion. Used in much the same sense as the word “pelt,” which is rightly explained in the glossaries as anger, noise, rage, though it is, perhaps, more spoken of animals than “peel.” “What a pelt the dog is making,” that is, barking, would be said rather than “peel.” Picked. Sharp, pointed. “A picked piece,” means a field with one or more sharp angular corners. Pity. Love. “Pity is akin to love,” says Shakspeare, but in the West of England it is often the same. Plash, A. A mill-head. Winkton is locally called Winkton Plash, this exactly corresponding to the Weringetone of _Domesday_, with its two mills “_ad aulam_.” Puck, To. To put up sheaves, especially of barley and oats, which are called “pucks.” Used throughout the West of England in contradistinction to “hiling,” applied only to wheat, which is placed in “hiles.” In Dorsetshire, however, this last operation is called “stitching.” _See_ the word “stitch” in Mr. Barnes’ _Glossary of the Dorsetshire Dialect_, p. 391. Quar, A. The udder of a cow or sheep, when hard after calving or lambing. Beer also is said to be “quarred,” when it drinks hard or rough. Quat-vessel, The. The meadow-thistle (_Carduus pratensis_), which is common in the New Forest. Rammel Cheese. The best sort of cheese, made of cream and new milk, in contradistinction to Omary, or Arnary, cheese, and Hasskin cheese. Rammucky. Dissolute, wanton. “A rammucky man,” means a depraved character. Ramward, or rather, ramhard. To the right. A corruption of framward, or fromward. So “toard,” or “toward,” means to the left, that is, towards you. Both words are used throughout the West of England, and are good examples of what Professor Müller would call “phonetic decay.” With them may be compared the sailor’s terms “starboard” and “larboard,” on which _see_ Wedgwood, _Dict. of English Etymology_, vol. ii., p. 310. _See_, too, Miss Gurney on the word “woash,” which in the Eastern Counties is equivalent to “ramward.” _Glossary of Norfolk Words_. _Transactions of the Philological Society_, 1855, p. 38. Rantipole, The. The wild carrot (_Daucus carota_), so called from its bunch of leaves. Used also in Wiltshire. _See_ Hill-trot. Red Heath. The three heaths which grow in the New Forest—_Erica tetralix_, _Erica cinerea_, and _Calluna vulgaris_,—are respectively known as the bell, black, and red heaths. Reiaves. The boards or rails put round waggons, so as to enable them to take a greater load. Used throughout the West of England. _See_ Mr. Barnes’ Glossary under the word Riaves, p. 375.
