Yak or Yaak - in Cumbrian Dialect
Weel (Well) its Wednesday ageann and just fwoor a laal bit of fun lets look at Yak or Yaak. Do you know what this means in Cumbrian dialect?
Often you hear sumyan (somebody), particularly amongst the younger fwook when talking about food etc. that summats Yak or Yaki - and this of course means not very nice or a sticky mess. Anyways I's not yan hundred percent sure it is fra our dialect as Yaki seems to have Japanese origins. But if there anyyan oot there who know differnt, just git in touch. So lets look agaan at:
Yak - (C,E,SW) oak.
Yaak - (C,SW) oak.
Did you get it then? Another example fra m'dictionary is -
Yak cubbert - a large oak cupboard built into the internal walls of old Cumbrian farmhouses.
But please do not confuse it with a Yakker - which means of course, acre - a measure of land equivalent to 4,840 sq.yards or 0.405 of a present day hectare. So I'll leave yers with this sentence to practice -
How many yaks can yer git to a Yakker?
