Rh more rare form [gjōl], to howl, is found in, which is the exact phonetic form;   from “auga”,  from “baugr”, under.

With regard to a form “upp-lousin”,, sudden thaw, the conditions are somewhat different. “lousin” corresponds in meaning to løysing, leysing, and is the same word. It is Lowland Scottish in form; but as I have not found the word either in Scottish or in English dialects, applied in the same sense as in, I therefore have recorded it in the Dictionary, as I consider it to be an older *løsin ( *los and løs,, loose), which has been modified according to Lowland Scottish; similarly with “louse”, and “louse”,

nout, cattle, was remembered by old people in Unst in the close of the 19th century, as having been introduced from Scotland. Although the word in form and meaning corresponds to naut, cattle, it is therefore not given in the Dictionary. On the other hand, more strictly phonetical forms have been entered, such as and, both words from Unst. They are no longer used in the simple sense of cattle (see the Dictionary); this alteration and restriction in sense and use show furthermore that they originate from naut.

A compound such as, hurry-skurry, has been put in, though hardly  appears in a similar sense (confusion on account of hurry), which word seems to have arisen from English “bamboozle”, which, however, has another meaning (to confuse; deceive; trick); but the word must have changed in meaning in through influence of  words such as “bang” and “bus”, verb: “busa”, also used in The compound has not been met with in the Northern languages outside Shetland, is therefore not a derivative of, but conversely has arisen from “bamboozle” by misinterpretion. .
