Word Detail
Tilip
Little Waterhen, Swamphen
Part of speech:
(N)
Sources:
Notes:
- named after its call. Stone gives this word too, as [tillip], but for 'little crake', and he gives [dallip] for 'waterhen'; this is no doubt another spelling for the same word, and 'crake' appears to be a misidentification.
