Last night's new to me #Scots word was "perfyte", as in the 1648 #will I was transcribing: "or thair severall mantenance until the sd tyme of thair marriage or perfyte age". Elsewhere the will specifies perfyte as "xxi yeirs complett" i.e. 21. This was all reminding me last night of the Madame de Pompadour #DoctorWho episode - "She is not complete!" https://dsl.ac.uk/entry/dost/perfite_adj #Language #ScotsLanguage #ScotsLeid #LegalHistory #ScottishLaw #ScottishLegalHistory
