The coldness of Winter is upon us again and we must keep warm throughout the Winter. What is the first thing we put on after returning homefor keeping warm? Slippers! But what do you say for “bròg-sheòmair” in your areas? This is what we have in “Fieldwork” and other sources.
Out of “Fielwork” here's what we have: In Roy Wentworth's dictionary, Words and Phrases in Wester Ross, there is “slifeag”,or “sloifeag” in Melvich, which is made with an old shoe. You can find “bonnag” in the dictionary as well for a knitted shoe to use around the house.
In Dwelly's Dictionary the following can be found: We know now what we will be putting on when we return home tonight! Do you recognise any of the words above? Do you have an another word? Let us know on facebook, twitter and our website!
