BURD, bird, a term of familiarity. BURN, a brook. BUSKING, dress, decoration. BUTTOCK-MAIL, a fine for fornication. BYDAND, awaiting. CAILLIACHS, old women on whom devolved the duty of lamenting for the dead, which the Irish call keening. CALLANT, a young lad, a fine fellow. CANNY, prudent, skillful, lucky.
