What does LYART mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Scotsliterary
Streaked or spotted with grey; grizzled, especially of hair.
Robert Burns and other Scots poets used lyart to describe grey-streaked hair or beard, giving the word a specifically Scottish literary flavour rather than everyday currency. It shares a root with the older word liard, meaning dapple-grey, once applied to horses with a mixed grey coat before poets extended it to human hair. The word survives today almost entirely in older Scots verse and in dictionaries of dialect vocabulary, rather than in modern conversation. A lyart head marks a person as elderly in traditional Scots description, much as grey-haired does in standard English.
