Great post. However, the Scots pronounce "driech" /driːx/ , not dreick (like loch, which should be pronounced /lɔx/ not lock). The Google dictionary box for dreich has a native Scots pronunciation.
I loooove that you made reference to Ms Zarves! Those are some of my favorite kids' books, and my 14-year-old still reads them randomly when she's between books. That just made my day 😂
What a great treasure trove, great read and brilliant illustrations :) Love this post!
One monosyllable word that comes to my mind is weft, it’s not that unusual, but I still like it when I think it (of course I don’t really end up saying it very much on a daily basis, lol)
"Zarf" is the equivalent of envelope in Turkish. We put letters in a "zarf" and paste stamps on it.
Scooch . Your words scooch me into a corner with laughter.
I didn’t know three of these words existed! You learn something new everyday lol
Ash is dope.

I love 'skein', probably because it's one I know. It's also a knitting term, like - skeins of wool. These are all beautiful though.
Great words and I love the visuals with them. I enjoyed the poem too 💚
I love all of these! Your work always makes me want to make something!

Learning new words today!
