Dear Lowlanders,
I am intrigued by some Scots words with *scl... *in which the /s-/ or the
/-k-/ seem to be intrusive. I wonder if we can make sense of this somehow.
Examples:
- *Intrusive s?*
- *sclammer* 'clamber'
- *sclammer* 'clamor'
- *sclim* 'climb'
- *Intrusive k?*
- *sclice* 'slice' [Medieval French *esclicier*!]
- *sclidder ~ slidder* 'slither'
- *sclate ~ slate* 'slate' [Medieval French *esclat*!]
- *sclender ~ sclinner* 'slender' [Medieval French *esclendre*!]
- *scly *'slide'
- *sclype ~ slype* 'slap'
- *sklent ~ slent* 'slant'
- *spl- > skl-?**
*
- *sklinter* 'splinter'
What do you think is going on where Medieval French does not account for
the formations?
Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
Seattle, USA (about to be snowed in again ...)
