larn

And all the fal-lals and di-does they larn em in high school now doesnt amount to a row of pins in practical life.

She couldn't larn, an' de Lord took her whar dey don't ask what you knows,—only dis: does you lub de Lord?

I suppose they don't have to go to school to larn how to bite something that they dislike so much they want to eat it.

They jest poke 'em out o' the nest, an' larn 'em to fly an' pick up their own livin'; an' that's what makes birds on 'em.

Let's teach 'em nothing at all, if we can't larn 'em something better than wrangling about religion.
