Origin of mockers¹

C20: perhaps from mock

Frequently I took my light, and made a search for those mockers and persecutors of my waking and sleeping hours.

"Sire, there is one behind these mockers," answered the little man in a low voice.

They were heavily armed, their prowlers beside them and their mockers on their shoulders.

Their weapons were ready, the mockers were trained, the prowlers were waiting.

One pair of mockers survived and had two young ones that fall.
