Hans Kurath, in his headnote to the file for `screech owl' in the Ling. Atlas

of the Middle and South Atlantic States gives the following summary:



The more common terms for the small horned screeching owl are: screech owl

(widespread), scrich owl (common in eastern VA and parts of NC), scrooch owl

(mostly in DE, the Eastern Shore, and the greater part of NC), and shivering

owl (in eastern NC). Less common terms, many of them variants of the above,

are: creech owl, screek owl, scrinch owl, squeech owl, squich owl, squeak owl,

squinch owl, squint owl, scroonch owl, scooch owl, scruch owl, winnering owl(in

NJ), quivering owl, shivel(ing) owl, freezling owl, freezing owl, chill owl,

death owl, little owl, less owl.



Two speakers who used the term quivering owl are in Cumberland and Salem Cos.,

NJ. Note: this list does not include terms for the larger 'hoot owl'.

When Faries collected Kurathian WG terms in Missouri in the 1960s, she got

several terms for 'screech owl': shivering owl (K: S) 2, squinch owl (K: S) 1,

scrich owl (K: S+SM) 21, squich owl (K: S+SM) 7, scrooch owl (K: S+SM) 20,

whinnering owl (K: N+NM) 1. I don't have a handy guide to the part of the state

where each occurred. The northern and western counties of MO are rather

strongly N + NM and the Ozarks S + SM and the Bootheel more strongly S than the

Ozarks.

Edgar Schneider does not yet have a new e-mail address. He moved to the

University of Regensburg as of Jan. 1., and he thought it would take a little

time before he was up and running again (I hope, Edgar, you will reply to this

message and prove me wrong!).



Unitl his e-mail is back up, his snail mail address is (add umlauts where req):

Mail to his old address isn't bouncing -- or at least not yet. Maybe he's

telnetting to Berlin and reading it? Or maybe it's piling up waiting to

be deleted? Or maybe he's having it forwarded to another address?

Nice to see some people are interested in my

whereabouts. The information which Bill gave (thanks!)

is correct; since Jan. 1 I have a new job and a new

address (snail-mail), which is (for those of you who know

me):

University of Regensburg

Institut fur Anglistik

Universitatsstr. 31

D-8400 Regensburg



(Being a Southerner - in the German context -,

I am happy to be back to Bavaria).



As to e-mail, my old Berlin address is still

active, as you can see, and will remain so for a

few more months; however, I come to check the mailbox only about

every other week. I`ll let you know when I am

hooked up in R., But that will take some time.

OFFICE MEMO ADS-L/Indiana Dialects? Date:1/20/93

Hi. I'm temporarily not on the ADS-List (too much in my in-box), but I would

like to pass along a query. I now work in the News Office at the University of

Chicago (yes, I'm still working on my degree, too). We received a call today

from a woman seeking information about Indiana dialects. (She's also interested

in Indiana traditions, demographics, etc.) She called here because she had

heard about Raven McDavid's work on the Atlas project. Perhaps someone out

there could help her or refer her to some good sources? Her name is Cindy

Kyle, and her number is 313-547-1878. Although her project seems to have to do

with marketing of some sort, she seems to be a genuine language buff who is

taking a creative approach to her work and would like to learn more about

dialectology not only for her job. Since I'm not subscribing to ADS-List right

now, please drop me a note directly at my work address

(nancy_dray[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]unews.uchicago.edu) if you will be contacting her (so I'll know

someone did) or if you would like to pass on any references or need more info.

Thank you! and greetings... I'm sure I'll miss the list, but my other

account is swamped in messages right now and I need some time to wade through

them (and my work). Best wishes,

Nancy L. Dray

Subject: Hyphenation



This might seem like an odd question, but here goes.



Does anyone know what type of rule one uses to know whether 'wide'

as a combining form should be hyphenated and when it should not?

For example, I see that 'county-wide' is hyphenated, but 'worldwide'

is not. Does anyone remember (know) whether AS or some other

journal has treated the issue of hyphenation. (OK, I will search for

it, but I thought I might tap this resource first. . . . .)



Thanks.

You might look at a reference work by Alice Ball, published by Funk

English. It's pretty old--1950s.

Al, I remember that Tom Creswell was interested in hyphenation in the

he and Virginia McDavid did a study specifically of hyphenation. It may

have shown up in AS.

Does anyone know whether a "System 7 savvy" version of GoldVarb has been

done? Specifically System 7.1? Are many of the ADS-L subscribers using

GoldVarb, or have you found other options to serve your needs better? I

mean options on, say,a Mac SE/30 with 8MB RAM & 80MB HD space. Not

mainframe options.
