What does QUO mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To say — an archaic form of quoth, placed before the speaker.
Quo is one of several old spellings of quoth, itself the past tense of an Old English verb meaning to say or speak. Writers set it before the name or pronoun of the speaker rather than after, so a line reads quo he or quo the miller instead of he said. The form survived in printed dialect and mock-old prose long after ordinary speech had dropped it.
How QUO is used
Placed before the subject, as in quo he or quo she, never after it. Found only in older or deliberately archaic narrative writing.
- Quo he, I will be gone before the sun is up.
- Nay, quo the miller, that was never the bargain.
- Quo she, and turned away without another word.
- The old tale closes with quo the fox, and off he ran.
- Quo the stranger, before anyone could answer him.
