Heauinlie

I see that in this edit ↗ you removed "heauinlie". I understand that literally it means "heavenly". However, that doesn't mean it is not used to mean "homeland" as well. Are you claiming it isn't? Debresser (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
:Yes. The only source I can even find of the word is in the pre-1700 section of the Dictionary of the Scots Language, which uses it as an adjective for the word kingdom. This extract also has the word "patrie", an old Scots word (not attributed since 1600) borrowed from French, meaning "homeland" - I figure this is what the user who added it meant. I am a Scots speaker and have certainly never heard either word used in speech, with this meaning, or seen it in recent Scots writing. SaoiDunNeachdain (talk) 22:47, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
:: I see. Thank you for your reply. Debresser (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Regarding the multiple userpage deletions you've requested, do you still have access to your old account?

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi SaoiDunNeachdain. Thank you for your work on Carrageen pudding ↗. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol ↗ and left the following comment:

{{Bq|1=Thanks for creating this short, focussed page on Carrageen pudding ↗. An alternative to a stand-alone artice, on the basis that it is short, would be to include the text on the blancmange ↗ page, perhaps as a distinct section given the unusual thickening agent.}}

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{code|<nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Klbrain<nowiki>}}</nowiki>}}. <small>(Message delivered via the Page Curation ↗ tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)</small>

Klbrain (talk) 20:10, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

:{{Re|Klbrain}}: Your comment is appreciated. I intend to expand this article. I don't currently have one of the sources I was going to use in reference to the pudding's traditional medicinal value and won't until next week, but I wanted to stop myself procrastinating on it... However I must say, it isn't considered a type of blancmange, it's generally somewhat thinner and the carrageen thickening agent imparts a subtly different taste, I just figured that blancmange is the closest analogue recognisable to an international English-speaking audience.
:Thanks SaoiDunNeachdain (talk) 20:58, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
::I understand, but interestingly the blancmange article had 'Irish moss' as a thickening agent for many years (until I moved that reference across to your new page!). Klbrain (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
