RUTHE, pyte, idem quod pyte, 1 A Ruffie or Roughie, according to Jamieson, signifies in Eskdale a torch used in fishing with the lister by night; probably, as he supposes, from the rough material of which it is formed. A wick clogged with tallow is termed a Ruffy. Roughie in N. Britain signifies also brushwood or heather. Funalia were torches formed of ropes twisted together and dipped in pitch. 2 "I ruffle clothe or sylke, I bring them out of their playne foldynge; je plionne, je froisse. See how this lawne is shruffylled." (sic.) PALSG. 3 This word occurs amongst the verbs, in the Harl. MS. without any Latin equivalent. This is placed amongst the verbs, after RUBBYN, (as if written Ruckun). The word is used by Chaucer, (Nonnes Pr. Tale) speaking of the fox-" false morderour rucking in thy den." So also in Conf. Am. 72. Forby gives "to ruck, to squat or shrink down." This word occurs in the Paston Letters, vol. iii. p. 44.

The leather was to be "basked to and fro" in a hot solution of rock alum, "aftir take zelkis of eyren and breke hem smale in a disch as thou woldist make therof a caudel, and put these to thyn alome water, and chaufe it to a moderate hete; thaune take it doun from the fier and put it in thi cornetrey; thanne tak thi lether and basche it wel in this sabras, to it be wel dronken up into the lether." A little flour is then to be added, the mixture again heated, and the parchment well "basked therein, and that that saberas be wel drunken up into the lether; and, if it enters not well into the lether, lay it abroad in a good long vessel that be scheld, the fleschside upward, and poure thi sabrace al aboven the lether, and rubbe it wel yn." It is also recommended "to late the lether ligge so still al a nyzt in his owen sabras." In the Ancren Riwle, edited for the Camden Society by the Rev. J. Morton, p. 364, it is said that a sick man who is wise uses abstinence, and drinks bitter sabras to recover his health in the Latin MS. Oxon. "potat amara." It may be from the Arabic, “Shabra, a drink." See Notes and Queries, vol. ii. pp. 70, 204. Mr. Halliwell, in his Archaic Glossary, gives-" Sabras, salve, plaster," which does not accord with the use of the term as above given; it has not, however, been found in any other dictionary. 2 Compare Oost, sacrament, Hostia, supra. • Sic, probably erroneously so written for-Satlyn, as in K. to saddle, is preserved in the Herefordshire dialect.
