saugh

MS. has—'He herd it wel, but he saugh it nought'; where Mr. Jephson inserts ne before saugh without any comment.

Saugh; it's an old Scotch word for willow, and comes from the French saule, I suppose.

Boboon in those days was as straight as a young saugh-wand, sharp and thin, all thong at the joints, and as supple as a wild cat.

Mony a day hae I wrought my stocking and sat on my sunkie under that saugh.'

It was on a level round of old moss, damp but springy, hid from the house by some saugh-trees.
