'No hedger brished nor scythesman swung'. and 'The morning hedger with his brishing-hook'. These two lines explain the word #brish#. O.E.D. gives brish as dialectal of brush, and so E.D.D. has the verb to brush as dialect for trimming a tree or hedge. Brush is a difficult homophone, and it would be useful to have one of its derivative meanings separated off as brish.
