marrot
marrot (MAW-rot) - n., (Eng. dial.) any of several birds of the auk family, including the razor-billed auk, the puffin, or the guillemot.
Also written marrott, morrot, or marrock, which gives you a guide to the pronunciation. I should have run this yesterday, just after guillemot, but I wasn't thinking. Origin unknown, and I'm not even finding which regions of England it's a dialect word. Hmph.
