That the words in the foregoing list have still in NSc. the same sound, viz. u, and 

 have never, as in NE., had an ow sound, is another instance of the similarity in 

 pronunciation between the Scotch of Dunbar's time and modern broad Scotch. 



§ 105. 1. not before g, rimes with

§ 108. In MSc. the history of the y-sound + nd is distinguished from that of I in that 

 y is lengthened, but i is not. In ME. both are lengthened. Dunbar, as we see, never 

 rimes these two sounds together. In NSc. the i remains short in all the words that 

 occur as rimes in Dunbar except behind, which is an English form of the Scotch ahiut 

 (see above, § 74, and Gerken, § 13).
