Welcome to day twelve of Things in Scots!?a fun collaboration with my husband, Jez (Mind an gie Jez?s post a keek.)
It?s another wet day here in Glasgow. And, the forecast is for more of the same until the early hours. Which means I might miss seeing the last full moon of 2019. Though, I?ve got my fingers crossed as we?re on day two of its three-day cycle before it begins to wane. With that in mind?
Today?s word in Scots is: Muin.
Muin (pronounced min, or meen in the North-East) means moon. It also means a very long time. And, in the South, it means a month and a goldcrest bird.
Here?s an example of muin in use:
The muin?s affa bonnie the nicht.
In Inglis: The moon?s very pretty tonight.
If you want to ken the Scots for anything, just ask in the comments section.
Thenks fur stoapin by, and hae a wunnerfu day.
