jan 1, 1506 - moise
Description:
One reference only: 1506 <i> to crop and moise every suche cloth and it to be as good and fyn in the mydds as at the ends </i>, York (YRS106/21). This may be the dialect word ‘moise’ which means to improve, although evidence for its use in Yorkshire is otherwise lacking. Alternatively perhaps it was for ‘moite’; that is ‘burl’ or pick out the foreign matter.Added to timeline:
