timé in the sense of a cloak, or outward covering. AS. brat, a 
cloak, a clout. 
‘¢ Which that thei might wrappin hem in a night, 
And a bratte to walken in a daie light.” 
Se., ‘‘ Her bits o’ brats are fairly worn through, though she keeps up an 
appearance of gentility.” 
Pick,” pitch. 
** Anoynt the ship with pick and tar, 
Without and als within, 
The water out to spar.” 
* Shog,” to shake somewhat roughly. 
‘* Shog him welle and let us lyfte.” 
We have it in our popular rhymes— 
‘* Big it in a bog, 
Where it will neither shake nor shog.” 
** Bugg,” a ghost, now altered to bogle, is common in both 
districts. The passage in what is called the ‘“ Bug Bible,” 
Ps. xci. v. 5—“ Thou shall not be afraid for the bugges by night,” 
&c., is an instance of the use of this word. In words common to 
both districts 1 may give as a few examples, out of hundreds 
that might be adduced—“ Fike,” O.N., fika,; O.Sw., jikia, to 
bustle ; a Yorkshireman says, ‘“ T’ puir bairn nobbut jikes wi’ his 
taes ;” we have ‘‘ When she tak’s on her fickie fykes.” ‘‘ Deave,” 
O.N., deyfa, to deafen, to stun; Yk., ‘A din fit t? deave yan ;” 
Sc., ‘‘ Whist, woman, whist! dinna deave the gentleman wi’ your 
havers.” “Gate,” “Gait,” O.N., gatta, a road, a way; Yk., 
“Let him gan his awn gate;” Sc. “Let him gang his ain 
gait.” “Sark,” O.N., serkr, shirt; Yk., “Strippit tiv his sark 
sleeves ;” Sc., “T’ll gie ye a sark fu’ o’ sair banes.” Amongst the 
phrases common to both districts are “Tak tent,” “ What for 
no,” and various others. One word in the Glossary struck me 
as being very interesting in its derivation. ‘ Danish,” “ Densh,” 
“fastidious, dainty, nice ; we have it in the form of Dainshock* 
(pr. danish), nice, prim ; “ A dainish bit body.” Iam not sure 
I have heard the word used in this quarter. It is common on 
the east side of the country. Atkinson, quoting Wéorsaae, says, 
“So long as the Danish supremacy lasted (in England), the 
Danes, naturally, could only carry themselves as lords in a con- 
quered country. Their innate taste for magnificence and luxury 
* The diminutive ‘‘ock ” has evidently been added here,
