From northern English dialect, a narrow unpaved lane or track, often running between fields or hedgerows. Cognate with 'loning' and related to the Old English 'lane'. Common in Northumberland and Cumberland place names. Carries a rural, bucolic register distinct from the urban 'alley' or 'ginnel'.
(Geordie, Cumberland, dialect) A lane.
An obscure Scottish word for a rough shelter or shieling hut — the kind of temporary stone-and-turf dwelling built for drovers and herdsmen on summer pastures. The 'bothy' overlap suggests it was used in upland farming communities in the Highlands where seasonal movement of cattle was common.
(UK, dialectal, chiefly, Northern England, archaic) Waist.
