prettygoodwordI've built up a number of interesting pages from the Forgotten English calendar, so I think it's time for a theme week:
urk - "A small child or diminutive person. Fairies were formerly called urchins. —Thomas Sterberg's Dialect and Fold-Lore of Northamptonshire, 1851"
Underneath that, on the occasion of Martin Luther's birthday, is an extract of his account of disposing of a changeling in Dessau, which is a bit of a tenuous connection to the word, but whatever.
