Subject: Phonolgy<span><br><br>Dear Lowlanders,<br><br>I am intrigued by some Scots words with <i>scl... </i>in which the /s-/ or the /-k-/ seem to be intrusive. I wonder if we can make sense of this somehow.<br><br>Examples:<br>

</span><ul><li><b>Intrusive <i>s</i>?</b><br><span></span></li><ul><li><i>sclammer</i> 'clamber'</li><li><i>sclammer</i> 'clamor'</li><li><i>sclim</i> 'climb'<br></li></ul></ul><ul><li><b>Intrusive <i>k</i>?</b><br>

<span></span></li><ul><li><span><i>sclice</i> 'slice' [Medieval French </span> <i><span class="foreign">esclicier</span></i><span>!]<br></span></li><li><span><i>sclidder ~ slidder</i> 'slither'</span></li>

<li><span><i>sclate ~ slate</i> 'slate' </span><span> [Medieval French</span><span class="foreign"> <i>esclat</i></span><span>!]</span></li><li><span><i>sclender ~ sclinner</i> 'slender' </span><span>[Medieval French </span><i><span class="foreign">esclendre</span></i><span>!]</span></li>

<li><span><i>scly </i>'slide'</span></li><li><span><i>sclype ~ slype</i> 'slap'</span></li><li><span><i>sklent ~ slent</i> 'slant'<br></span></li></ul></ul><ul><li><b><i>spl-</i> > <i>skl-</i>?</b><b><br>

</b></li><ul><li><i>sklinter</i> 'splinter'<br></li></ul></ul>What do you think is going on where Medieval French does not account for the formations?<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA (about to be snowed in again ...)<br>
