Himeral?

[Olin]

Last night when visiting my grandfather, who loves to wind me up and have banterious arguements about random things, he said that he bet me I couldn't find out what the word "Himeral" meant....

I have searched on the web and come up with nothing. As first thought I thought it may be a made up Caithness/Stroma word and was wondering if anyone on here could help me?

Thanks

:confused:

It appears to be a place that Therms come from.

Whatever that means.

It's also the name of a Basha in the army of the Grand Turk; http://mybebook.com/download_free_ebook/currey-e-hamilton_ebooks/sea-wolves-of-the-mediterranean/ebook6478.pdf

It's also a river; http://www.archive.org/stream/plutarchslivesv01wrangoog/plutarchslivesv01wrangoog_djvu.txt

Thanks a lot!

I don't think any of these are what my grandfather is on about though lol

He said it's a true Highland/Scottish word....

Likely he's been sitting bored and decided to make it up!

:lol:

Whilst on the 'Word thingy' ............
How about 'Imillag'? Spelliing is dodgy.
Was used when I was a child ...in Caithness.

'Hymral'

That's the name of the small inlet on the east side of Stroma. It's where they used to keep all the lobsters in the 'keepers'. So I'd guess that 'hymral' means that.

You can still see the iron rings in the rocks that the keepers were tied to.
