What does KNURR mean in Scrabble?
noun
dialectregional
A hard knot of wood; also, the small wooden or porcelain ball struck with a stick in the old northern English game called knur and spell.
In its older sense knurr is simply another spelling of knaur or knur, naming a rough lump in timber. From that same word grew the name of a rural game once popular in Yorkshire, in which a player used a long stick, or trip, to strike a small ball, the knurr, as far as possible across open ground. The game itself has almost vanished, so the word survives chiefly in accounts of old regional pastimes.
