aunlyn; s. m. relish or moisture that is taken with bread, potatoes, &c. Dr. A Clarke’s note on John vi. 9, is quite applicable to this word; opsarion, the Greek word, he says “signifies what is eaten with bread to perfect the meal, or to make it easy of deglutition, or to help the digestion. There is no word in the English language for it, which is a great defect. The inhabitants of Scotland and of the north & north west of Ireland use the word kytshen, [so do the inhabitants of this island] by which they express whatever is eaten with bread or potatoes, flesh, fish, butter, milk, eggs, &c.” Does it originate in our language from ooylyn? as arran as ooylyn (bread and apples).
