Hello Liesbeth,

I was at boarding school in Aberdeen, Scotland,  - many years ago - and
"teuchter" to us meant  a local in the derogatory sense of 'peasant'.
Not very uplifting, but that is adolescent language, isn't it?

Regards,

Tom

"[ˈtjuxtər] A term of disparagement or contempt used in Central Scotland for
a Highlander, esp. one speaking Gaelic, or anyone from the North, an
uncouth, countrified person."

Where did these come from?

http://www.dsl.ac.uk/dsl/ gives _jenny hoolet _ for _Strix aluco_

I wrote about tawny owls (_Strix aluco_) under "Folklore":

>      "bird of the dead," "death bird")

_Kat-uul_ (Kattuul "cat owl") has a second meaning: any large, "furry" type
of nocturnal moth of the _Noctuidae_ group.  They look a bit like owls, I
guess.

I got them under "English" at
