_Provincial Words._--Though the Rev. Wm. Barnes has almost
perfectionated the catalogue of Dorset provincialisms in the Glossary to
his beautiful poems in the Dorset dialect, I still sometimes meet with a
stray omission, viz.:
_Blasty._ To feed a fire with the dust of furze, &c.
_Clean-sheaf._ Altogether, _e.g._ "I've clean-sheaf vargot."
_Crudelee._ To crow, as a baby does.
_Eickered._ Blotchy.
_Giblets._ The smaller pieces of a shirt.
_Scousse._ To barter.
_Snyche._ Eager; ready to snap at.
_Squeapity._ To squeak, as an ungreased wheel.
_Stump._ Disturbance.
_Treaden._ The sole of the foot.
