I found a few more words in MARILLA OF GREEN GABLES by Sarah McCoy.
1. liegeman – “He bowed like a liegeman.”
I probably learned this in a history class years ago. A liegeman is a vassal who owes feudal service or allegiance to a nobleman.

2. bannock – “‘I’m making an herb bannock.'”
Bannock is a type of fry bread, which originates from Scotland but was eventually adopted by the Indigenous peoples of Canada.

What words do you want to celebrate today?
I thought I knew all about breads, but that one is new to me. I think I need to look it up and gave a go at it.
Your words remind me of Sir Walter Scott and his version of middle English! I think I’ve eaten a bannock somewhere along the line.
My Wednesday this week is wordless — an attempt at calm! Maybe next week will be back to wordy.

figured out a “liegeman” might be somebody who works for a lord. But did not know the context.
I bet bannock is yummy.
Both are new to me!
My kids loved me to make them fry bread (I made mine different than the popular recipe) when they were young but I never heard it called bannock.
Amazing, but I knew both of these words.
I knew bannock 😀
Both are new to me!! I hope you’ve enjoyed reading MARILLA OF GREEN GABLES.
