Add to ORKGnorthernA sudden shower of rain or snow. The remarkable thing about this word [ Dwye, or Dwigh ] is that it is not known or used on the coast line south of St John's. From Cape Spear north to Belle Isle every one knows what it means; but from Cape Race west it is Greek to the people. I have heard Placentia Bay men using the word as a joke on northern men.DNE-cit PRINTED ITEMOCT 1974 W. J. KIRWIN JH OCT 1974Used I and SupUsed I and SupUsed
