_Awk_ (Vol. viii., p. 310.).--H. C. K. asks for instances of the usage of
the word _awk_. He will find one in Richardson's _Dictionary_, and two of
_awkly_:
"The _auke_ or left hand."--Holland's _Plutarch_.
"They receive her _aukly_, when she (Fortune) presenteth herself on the
_right_ hand."--_Ibid._
"To undertake a thing _awkely_, or ungainly."--Fuller's _Worthies_.
