Norn: Bis bis byo Bulva reeka tyo Tak laigen Slogan veggin Bulva reeka tyo Variant form: Bøn vil ikkə tīæ tak an læggən slōgan væggən bøn vil ikkə tīæ Comments: JJ: "Bulva reeka" is evidently a corruption of "boņ(ə) vil ikə" 'the child will not (be quiet)'. Cf. a Faroese rigmarole (Antikvarisk tidsskrift, 1851, p. 322), beginning: "Rura rura barnið" - and containing the lines: "vil ikki barnið tiga, so tak um legg og slá í vegg - so skal barnið tiga" - If the bairn will not be quiet, take it by the leg and hit it against the wall - that will make it be quiet. http://nornlanguage.x10.mx/index.php?shettxt/23bis |
