Jottings
- This spreidsheet haes been compile’t by Jamie Smith. Ony errors is mine alane.
- I’m maistly juist leukin at Scots scrievin wi this sheet, forby whan a wird appears only or maistly in Scottish English text (e.g. Litchtenstein). The sheet isna aw-comprehending: the’r that mony examples o Roushie and Roushien, for instance, that I’v juist recordit the auldest, maist recent an a wheen inatween. Juist follae the link(s) and dae a search if ye’r wantin ivery example.
- The sheet disna by defaut tak in examples in the SND or DOST, tho nae dout some o the aulder springheids is covered there. If ye’r wantin tae see aw recordit instances o a wird, check thae dictionars an aw (at dsl.ac.uk).
- For nou, kintrae and ither names frae The Dreme in this sheet isna aw-comprehendin. See here for full list.
- Jotting by Sandy Fleming anent spellin o Africae.
- Scots Wikipedia collogue anent kintra names.
- Recommendations for Names of Countries, Nations, Regions & States in Scots (2020) by Dr Dauvit Horsbroch o the Centre for the Scots Leid is a braw document. The Modren Scots spellings in the spreidsheet less or mair gang the gate advised there. This 2021 airticle by David Leask, anent Dr Horsbroch’s document, is an interestin read tae.
- Reference tae Cheena and Cheena Plain in a 1908 Ross-shire Journal airticle in English. I think it’s referrin tae the kintrae Cheena (or China in English). I’ll hae tae dae mair readin or spier at a body that kens their history and geography better nor mysel. Gin this is referrin tae the kintrae Cheena, could ye say this is an example o a covert Scotticism?
Our Country Regiment. With the 1st Seaforths in India. […] In the advance on Cheena, on the 18th February, second Lieutenant Ian Macfadyen, attached to the Seaforth Highlanders, was mortally wounded. […] The Regiment sustained its greatest loss during the second advance into the Cheena Plain, when Halwai was occupied on the 21st February.
- Tips for sairchin the BNA: sairch Scots (Scottish) titles frae here. I for ordinar stert wi ‘Exact search’ on. Wi it aff ye can win at ither spellings o a wird. If ye canna see the wird whan ye’r leukin at the scan, dae a ‘Finnd’ in your wab brouser as the text should be on the left-haund side. The’r mony errors in scanning sae ye need tae tak a leuk at the image wi your ain een. Anither technique: say ye’r leukin for Egyp, tae get roond there bein mony scanning errors (the ‘t’ is aften missin), ye can sairch for ‘egyp ken’ wi ‘Exact search’ aff and it’ll gie ye back results in the vernacular. If ‘ken’ daesna wirk, gie ‘gie’ or anither common wird a shot. This daesna aye wirk but it did wirk for me wi Egyp. Ye can put quotes aboot your sairch term an-aw tae dae a mair exact search.
- Wikipedia’s definition o exonym:
An exonym […] is an established, non-native name for a geographical place, group of people, individual person, language or dialect, meaning that it is used only outside that particular place, group, or linguistic community. Exonyms exist not only for historico-geographical reasons but also in consideration of difficulties when pronouncing foreign words. For instance, Deutschland is the endonym for the country that is also known by the exonym Germany in English, Alemania in Spanish and Allemagne in French.
