| Summary: | crunnick n .we passed some sticks by the side of the road. . my uncle said, "Now there's a fine load of "Crannies" for the fireplace." After I questioned him about "Crannies" he told me of "Stalligons". These 2 words are in connection with firewood. Crannies - crooked pieces of wood Stalligons - the stem 'Stall' is the same as in 'Stallions'. These are pieces of firewood which has just been cut, still green and sap running out of them. Crannies may also be the crooked pieces of wood left standing after a forest fire.
