Not worth fighting over - and I for one will leave this as you have it. But "Gie's a" looks very like my own dialect's "Gissa", as in "Gissa lookattit" = (in formal English) "Give me a look at it". Someone else may well feel that turning informal, colloquial Scots into formal, standard English defeats the "minimalist" bit a little. Seriously, "give us" for "give me" is a very common colloquialism in many varieties of the language - in fact it's practically "standard", i.e. the way most native speakers would phrase it, at least in casual speech. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:43, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
