LX. I. cuscote. Wood-pigeon, ring-dove {columba 

 falumbus); still called cushat or cowshot in the northern 

 dialects and in Scotland. The word has no cognates 

 in the other Teutonic languages, and its etymology is 

 obscure. The element scote, scute, is apparently a deriva- 

 tive of sceotan, to shoot, and may mean a shooter, or 

 darter. (Cf. N. E. Diet.) ME. cowscot, couscot.
