Well today ize gaan t'larn yer aboot iver or ivver - ever.
(OK I hear yer shout what did oald Dickinson just say, so I'll repeat it proper-like)

Well today I am going to teach you about iver or ivver - ever.
In m'dictionary I have listed it like this.

Ivver - ever.
Iv'ry, Ivry, Ivvery - every.

With yan or two examples -

Ivvery thing - everything.
Iv'ry like - every now and then.
Iv'ry whoar - everywhere.
Iv'ry whup while - every now and then.
Ivverly - frequently; continuously.

But t'best example is the oald saying

As’t thee ‘iver sin a cuddy
lowp a five bar geatt.

Have you ever seen a donkey
jump a five bar gate.
