By G. E. Dartneli and the Rev. LE. H. Goddard. 803 
Girls. The short-pistilled or “ thrum-eyed” blossoms of the Primrose, 
Primula vulgaris, L. See Boys. N.W. (Clyffe Pypard.) 
*Glox. This should be defined as a verb. It refers to the motion and 
gurgling of liquids in a barrel or vessel that is not quite full. “ Fill the 
Barrel full John or else it will glox in Carriage.” (Cunnington MS.) 
N.W., obsolete. 
In Hants glowing is the noise made by falling, gurgling water. (Cope.) 
Gold-cup (pronounced Gawl-cup). The various forms of Buttercup. N.W. 
(Malmesbury.) 
~ *Goosen-chick. A gosling. (Wr.) *Goosen-chick’s vather. 
A gander. (Wr.) Both these words would appear to belong to Som. and 
Dev. rather than Wilts. 
*Gotfer. Add:—Gatfer is still in use about Malmesbury. 
Gravel-Path, The. The Milky Way. N.W. (Huish.) 
Grindstone Apple. Omit the reference to the Hulogy, as the apple there 
mentioned is probably the ‘‘ Grindstone Pippin” of Wood Magic, not the 
crab. 
*Grupper. To give up (Wr.) There would appear to be some mistake here. 
Hack. (1) Add:—In Dorset hoeing is called hacking. 
Add :—* (2) mn. The shed in which newly-made bricks are set out to 
dry. N.W. (Malmesbury.) 
Hait-wo. This should have been defined as an order to a horse to go to the left. 
Hallege, Harrige. The latter seems to be the original form of the word, 
and is still occasionally heard; but for at least seventy years it has been 
more commonly pronounced as hallege, J and r having been interchanged. 
We have met with it at Clyffe Pypard, Bromham, Huish, and elsewhere in 
N. Wilts; but, so far as we know, it is not used in 8. Wilts. =Havage= 
disturbance, which the Rev. 8. Baring-Gould heard once in Cornwall, and 
made use of in his fine West-Country romance, John Herring, ch. 39, is 
doubtless a variant of the same word. 
(1) O€ persons, a crowd; also, contemptuously, a rabble. “Be you a 
going down to zee what they be a doing at the Veast?” “No, I bean’t a 
givain amang such a hallege as that!” N.W. 
(2) Of things, confusion, disorder. Were a load of top and lop, intended 
to be cut up for firewood, shot down clumsily in a yard gateway, it would 
be said, “ What a hallege you’ve got there, blocking up the way!” N.W. 
(3) Hence, it sometimes appears to mean rubbish, as when it is applied 
to the mess and litter of small broken twigs and chips left on the ground 
after a tree has been cut and carried. - N.W.
