MacDonald, George, 1824-1905

"Alec Forbes of Howglen"

As well, it includes words that are quite obvious to
native English speakers, only spelled in such a way to demonstrate the
regional pronunciation.
This list is a compressed format that consists of three columns for
???word???, ???definition???, and ???notes???. It is set up with a comma between
each item and a hard return at the end of each definition. This means
that this section could easily be cut and pasted into its own text file
and imported into a database or spreadsheet as a comma separated
variable file (.csv file). Failing that, you could do a search and
replace for commas in this section (I have not used any commas in my
words, definitions or notes) and replace the commas with spaces or
tabs.
