§ 61. In modern Scotch the vocalisation of 11 is complete, and it is quite possible that 

 in Dunbar's time it was optional, as is shown by the inconsequence of the spelling. But 

 the vocalisation of I in Id in NSc. is not complete, and seems to remain very much as 

 in Dunbar's time, i.e., it may be pronounced either way. 



Dr Gerken [§ 3, 2)] says that Douglas sounded the / before i asa consonant, and 

 cites the rime salt (OE. sealt) : exalt. But this seems to me no proof, as exalt might 

 also be pronounced then, as now, with vocalised I.
