lawin

Fair fa' the wife, and weel may she spin, that counts aye the lawin' wi' a pint to come in.

Jenny: Did ony woman ever hear the like o' that—ye mean the lawin', man!

We're no blate at askin' the lawin', although some folk are unco' slow at payin' o't. It's just four-and-six.

And they'd had a fallin' out 'bout some land, and was a-lawin' fer p'session, you understand.

Taxes wuz high 'nuff, an money wuz dretful skurce, an thar wuz lots o' lawin an suein o' poor folks.
