1 gen 1699 anni - whick

Descrizione:

These are variants of ‘quick’, usually in the sense of living as opposed to dead, and they occurred regularly in the north and north midlands, at least as far south as Lincolnshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. In 1505, Thomas Mighley of Leeds wrote <i>I gyf … my best whik good in the name of my mortuarie</i> ( ), and, in 1699, a Marsden farmer listed his ‘<i>goods and chatills, booth whick and deaid </i>(IMF)<i>’</i>. In this context it is worth noting that cattle and chattels share the same etymology; that is the Latin word ‘capitalis’. See good, quick.
