What does DIKER mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scots
A person who builds or repairs dikes, especially dry stone walls.
A diker is a tradesman rather than a farmer, building the same field boundaries that dike itself names, and the word is heard most in Scotland, where drystone walling stayed a working trade. It is a variant spelling of dyker, following dike rather than dyke, and both forms describe the same skilled work of fitting stone without mortar. The craft still has apprentices and competitions, which keeps diker in occasional current use rather than purely historical.
