As I entered it in my list I commented that it came from "The Dialect of Craven (West Riding) 1828" . Looking the word up this afternoon - or rather, trying to look the word up I discovered that it is not a word allowed in any version of Scrabble or Wordfix etc. -- if you do a search for the book itself then there are several refs to it on google.
