daunder (DAWN-der) - (Scot. & N. Eng.) v. to stroll, saunter, walk aimlessly; to talk at length without reaching a conclusion; (arch.) to shiver, quake.
Also a noun. I cannot explain why, but for some reason this makes me think of a cathedral close. The shivering seems to be the original sense, as a frequentive of Middle English dand/dad, to strike hard enough to jolt.
