  • M'appen = May Happen (perhaps, maybe)
  • welly = nearly (e.g., "Fire's welly out")
  • would fain = with pleasure, gladly
  • aught = various uses (everything, anything, nothing) so Higgins', "There he went, ossing to promise aught, and pledge himsel' to aught—to tell a' he know'd on our proceedings, the food-for-nothing Judas!" means "There he went, trying to promise everything and pledge himself to everything and tell everything he knew about our union business."
  • a-that-ens = to those ends, that way
  • "To a Mountain Daisy: On Turning One Down with the Plow, in April, 1786"—poem by Robert Burns read by Craftlit's Resident Scotsman (the Awesome Arlen) with a proper burr (and Scottish bróg)!
