Summary:dowse Without > 'dout > final -_t_ in Nfld very close to _s_ in sound. Any ideas? I'd like to wait for a tape cite or a phonetician's report. Query file not used Not used Queried Unsure if dowse and drice (as seen in word form) are related. It appears that this is a recycled card which first held the word "drice" and the note "Any ideas?" which then was later used for "dowse" and the remaining notes.
