See Great Estate, ch. iv, where it is said that anything stirred with a pointed instrument is 'ucked'; also Gamekeeper at Home, ch. ii. 'It is apparently not a perversion of hook, and should be compared with huck, to push, lift, gore, Hants; huck, a hard blow, Suss., and huck, to spread about manure (see Parish, Sussex Gloss.). It is perhaps a by-form of Prov. hike, to toss, throw, or strike' (Rev. A. Smythe-Palmer).
