What does LAICH mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scots
Low; not high, used in Scots of land, ground, or position.
Laich describes something sitting close to the ground rather than raised up, so a laich wall or a laich window sits noticeably lower than a standard one. The word shares its root with the noun laigh, which names a stretch of low-lying ground itself, though laich is used as the descriptive word for lowness rather than for the hollow or valley. Older Scots writing and place-name records keep the word alive far more than everyday conversation does today.
How LAICH is used
Found mainly in older Scots writing, place names, and dialect glossaries rather than in current speech.
