| Summary: | forelay v But.she knowed. a place they used to go every night. So this night she foreled him an' she got in a tree. (ie she got there ahead of him) (ie she got there ahead of him) Yes forelay ?? forelaid??? DNE-cit A nicely ambiguous example. Pronounciation allows possibility of interpretation as _forelaid_, but on analogy with pronounciations of _led_ and _fairly led_ in my fieldwork experience I suggest that lexically this is the past tense of _forelead_, not _forelay_. NB Speaker has no [J] in first syllable) July, 1976 Used I Used I Used I
