Talk:Wynd

Scots?
Is Wynd really a Scots word? It seems to me there's ample examples of the word being used in Yorkshire and Northumberland. Further, the clear cognate "Wiend" seems to be more common on the other side of the Pennines in Lancashire, being used to denote similar winding streets, up and down hills, between houses and other buildings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DPMulligan (talk • contribs) 18:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Pronunciation?
It would be helpful if the article gave a pronunciation key for wynd. Does it rhyme with find (as the /y/ suggests to me) or with finned? J. D. Crutchfield &#124; Talk 20:55, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * With "find", according to wynd. Siuenti (talk) 21:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Alley or ginnel?
Qumarchi, a little research suggests that some wynds are more like narrow streets (or lanes) than an alley, or ginnel - e.g. "wide enough for a horse and cart", and sometimes at least are lined by houses. I'll seek clarification. I also found some interesting references to vennels, including on Wikipedia Vennels of Perth. Rwood128 (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Come to think of it, I believe some of these are just local names for alleys and should all be merged within the alley article IMO. In other words, their inhabitants just use localised or colloquial names for alleyway. Qumarchi (talk) 07:08, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

I agree. Rwood128 (talk) 11:09, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
