About this book
Scandinavian Influence on Southern Lowland Scotch is a contribution to the study of the linguistic relations of English and Scandinavian, by George Tobias Flom. A list of abbreviations for source texts names, among others, Isaiah, frae Hebrew intil Scottis, by P. Hately Waddell, Edinburgh and Glasgow, 1879.
A word entry gives donk, as a noun, for a moist place, and sets beside it O. N. dökk, a pool, Norse dok, a valley, and Shetland dek. A separate entry gives donnart as an adjective meaning stupid, stupefied, beside Norse daana and Sw. dåna, to faint. A run of dated word forms includes, among others, 1048 bunda and husbunda and 1049 nithing.
