Provincial Words.
—Though the Rev. Wm. Barnes has almost perfectionated the catalogue of Dorset provincialisms in the Glossary to his beautiful poems in the Dorset dialect, I still sometimes meet with a stray omission, viz.:
Blasty. To feed a fire with the dust of furze, &c.
Clean-sheaf. Altogether, e.g. "I've clean-sheaf vargot."
Crudelee. To crow, as a baby does.
Eickered. Blotchy.
Giblets. The smaller pieces of a shirt.
