Cregeen's Dictionary

ick, uick, or auick, s. f. a creek or gullet. In looking over Dr. Borlase’s vocabulary of the Cornish language, (which is now nearly extinct), I found a word which exactly answers to our ghaw, giau, guick or giuag, a creek or gullet. There are not less than nine places in the south of this Island, the names of which end in -ick viz. —Fleshick, Spoldrick, Parwick. Dressick, Saundrick, Grenick, Soderick, Pollick, and Garwick
