Is this word in use in other areas, or is it just Yorkshire?


According to Wright's 1896 "The English Dialect Dictionary" a bit wider:
[]
I'm a bit surprised you don't have a well-thumbed copy of Wright's so as
to be able to educate the grandchildren on their heritage

As it was possibly written by Bill (or just maybe his forbears) he
probably has a number of copies that were presented by his publisher.


While Joseph Wright came from Bradford he had no issue who survived
beyond childhood so he can't be one of Bill's forebears as such.
Possibly a collateral. Not to mention a bloody clever bloke who went
from illiterate mill worker to Oxford professor.
