Isl. _jarp-ur_, black, dark-coloured, seems to be the root.

YARR, _s._ Spurrey; a weed found in poor land, S.

YARRING, _adj._ Snarling, captious, troublesome.

V. ~Yirr~.

_Gl. s.h.i.+rr._

_To_ YARROW, _v. a._ To earn, to gain by industry, S. B.

A. S. _gearw-ian_, to prepare; Su. G. _garfw-a_, _gora_, id.

YAAVE, _s._ Awe, Banffs.

YAVIL, _adj._ Flat, Aberd.

V. ~Auale~, ~Awail~, and ~Awalt~.

_Journ. Lond._

YAUD. _Far yaud_, the signal made by a shepherd to his dog, when he is to drive away some sheep at a distance.

_Minstr. Bord._

A. S. _eode_, ivit, from _gan_, ire; or from _gath_, accede.

_To_ YAUL, _v. n._ To yell.

V. ~Yalloch~.

V. ~Yald~.

YAWS, _s. pl._ Apparently the disorder called _Syphilis_; also _Sivvens_, Orkn. Galloway.

YAXE, _s._ An axe, Buchan.

YE, YIE, (corr. printed _zei_.)

This seems to have originated from an imitation of the liquid sound used in Fr., in consequence of _g_ preceding _n_; or, where this was not the case, in consequence of the S. noun following the form of the verb which retained the sound of the Fr. infinitive or participle; as, _en-chainer_, _en-chaine_; whence S. _chenyie_.

YEABLES, _adv._ Perhaps, Loth. Border; _yeablesea_, A. Bor.

V. ~Able~.

YEALD, _adj._ Barren.

V. ~Yeld~.

_To_ YED, _v. n._ To contend, to wrangle, Loth. Isl. _odd-a_, _ydd-a_, excerto.

YEDDLE, _adj._ Thick, muddy; applied to water, Loth.
