| Apr 20, 2013 at 19:54 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @StoneyB: I'm pretty sure your first comment hit the nail on the head (it's a literary invention, not a real dialect). But I'd be intrigued to know where grummers comes from, and what it means (assuming Rothfuss didn't just make it up). All I can think of is groom, once used dialectally for boy, [young] man, fellow, chap. | |
| Apr 20, 2013 at 19:32 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | @FumbleFingers Oh, yeah, I missed that one. Spenser in fact wrote yclepe in Colin Clout; it was a back-formation, coined because despite his enthusiasm for old forms he apparently didn't know yclept was the past participle of clepe, already disappearing in his day. I doubt anybody actually said it. | |

| Apr 20, 2013 at 16:47 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I don't know of any accent where it would be credible to transcribe treat as troit. I'm also highly doubtful that there are any living speakers who still say Y’clep at all, or that there ever were any who used Y’clep me X to mean I'm called X. | |
