P
pa, paw.
pa. See palle.
Pa, III, 244, B 1: unintelligible and doubtless corrupt. Percy, who supposed that Mirryland toune might be corrupted from Milan, Germ. Mailand, understands Po, although, as he observes, the Adige, not the Po, runs through Milan.
pack, IV, 69, 12: familiar.
pad, V, [114], 1: (in canting language) highway.
pae, I, 333, 3: peacock.
pakets, V, [165], 6: pockets. (V, [306], 9, has pouches.)
pale (of a puncheon), II, 81, 45: tap, spigot.
pale, and the covring that these lovers had was the clouted cloak an pale, I, 305, 12: a derivation from Lat. pallium, coverlet, cloak, O. Fr. paile, palle, has been suggested, and as to meaning would suit; but if the word were popular it should be heard of elsewhere. Possibly an error for fale, turf, which is the bed-covering in F 6, p. 304; though the combination with cloak would be strange.
