What does EAGRE mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectBritish
A tidal bore, a wall of water that surges upriver from an estuary when an incoming tide meets the current, especially on certain British rivers.
An eagre forms when a rising sea tide is funneled into a narrowing river channel, piling the incoming water into a single wave that travels a long way upstream against the current. The Trent and the Severn are the rivers most often associated with a notable eagre, and local writers have described boats being swept along or capsized by its sudden arrival. Spelling varies a good deal between older sources, with eager, eagre, and eger all recorded for what is essentially the same tidal phenomenon. Surfers now sometimes ride a strong eagre for a considerable distance, treating a natural hazard once feared by boatmen as a rare kind of river wave.
