devall

Devall is a Scots dialectal verb meaning to cease or stop, and as a noun means a halt or pause. Largely obsolete outside Scottish dialect literature and historical texts, it survives in Burns and other Scots literary sources. The register is archaic and literary; contemporary Scots speakers would not typically use it in everyday conversation. It's the kind of word found in glossaries of Scots dialect rather than in active circulation, notable mainly to dialect enthusiasts.
