Leof all,
I live in the Wreake Valley in Leicestershire,with a high
density of Scandinavian place ( and river!!) names.At my workplace it
is very common to hear "give us a hand mate,we're mowed out here!"
I have never heard the word "Mowed" anywhere else....does anyone know
if it is a Norse survival? I have seen the word in Chaucer....but
would like to trace it back further.
Hal wes thu,
Ordric.
