deil

[ deel ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, Scot.

deil

/ diːl /

There was a pounding on the thin partition wall, an oath and a shout "Whaur's the deil o' a dog?"

You may believe me or not, sir, there was every mortal business under the sun, but deil a bit of a lawyer.

When he saw me, he cried: "Oh, Mr. M'Lauchlin, the deil's in this house this day."

Youre no so blind as not to see shes no liking for him, but the deil has in a way mesmerised her.

But the deil gets hold of some very young, insisted the Scotchman.
