Last one, I promise,

9 across - Eysting, haeing an ee til, haeing yer ee in at (7) E?N?I?G

Is this envying?

[vakayu]

That's what I put Duncer couldn't find it anywhere?

[Duncer]

I've tried the scots-English on line dictionary to no avail, and Googled it as well, with the same result.

[Baldric]

Envying
1.verb - be envious of; set one's heart on
2. feel envious towards; admire enviously

It's all the X-word solver gives

[vakayu]

Same here Duncer it does not seem to exist must be a very obscure scottish word although haeing an ee til does suggest envying,so as I said I am going with that.

[Duncer]

I even tried the Doric site, but nothing there either. I'll go with you on this one.

[slaney]

Is the third letter not N though?

[vakayu]

My 3rd letter is v slaney from Davidson I think Duncer had a typo?

[factor-fiction]

Yes, 3rd letter here was V

[slaney]

Ahh I see, thanks. I suppose "having your eye in at" could well be envying.

[factor-fiction]

Do they teach how to spell and use these words in schools in Scotland?

[sir.prize]

Do they have schools in Scotland?

[slaney]

I'm not sure that Lowland Scots is formally taught, but could be wrong.
There does seem a plan to teach Gaelic though ...

[vakayu]

Hi Mazie,I wasn't going to honour that with an answer!

[mazie]

Hi vakayu...My Grandchildren started going to school in Edinburgh a couple of years ago. I have to say it's streets ahead of the school they left in the East Midlands

(sorry Duncer for the hijack x)

[dannyk13]

[mazie]
