knaveship is a small quantity of grain but found on the farm?

Quick definitions (knaveship)


(n.) A small due, in meal, established by usage, which is paid to the under miller.

So it's found on the farm before it's paid to the millers assistant.

thank you aeronaut - just the ticket. (It makes me mad though that I've been puzzling that for weeks, thinking of jack as AB or tar, and you just popped that out like a goodun!)
