Strathy

[eviltwin44]

here I am again emeritus, last one. [9ac] vacillate, [5], is it haver or waver?

[emeritus]

I would say Waver

[Mamyalynne]

Oh given it is the Strathy I was going - Haver.

[Mamyalynne]

Sure Emeritus is right though.

[emeritus]

Ah .. Didn't spot that

[ladyalex]

I'd still go with Waver as when I say 'haver' which I do from time to time....say it and do it...it means talking rubbish , not vacillating.

[Mamyalynne]

Hmmm

but, thanks for all that. its been a school day again for me

[Mamyalynne]

I'd go with the majority , sorry to muddy the waters.

[slaney]

Not helpful I know, but Chambers has both two meanings for haver - 1) To talk nonsense or foolishly (Scot.)
2) To waver to be slow or hesitant in making a decision.

[ladyalex]

This one has us umming and ahing.......or as we say in Scotland, hemming and haying......

Clearly the first letter here is not a check letter, as it ought to be to avoid confusion and lead to only one answer
