<i><br></i>Scots has <i>gress </i>and <i>girse </i>for "grass", <i>gresslowper</i> and <i>girselowper</i> for "grasshopper".<br><br><i>Lowper</i> (cf. English "leaper") means "jumper" (cf. .<i>..springer</i> in some languages' words for "grasshopper")<br>
<br>By the way, please note the peculiar Irish name for "grasshopper": <i>dreoilín teaspaigh</i> (literally "hot weather wren")! This corresponds to <i>dreòlan teasbhuidh</i> in Scottish Gaelic.<font size="1"></font><br>
