Noun [English]

IPA: /dɹəʊ/ [UK], /dɹaʊ/ [UK], /dɹoʊ/ [US], /dɹaʊ/ [US] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-drow.wav , LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-drow2.wav Forms: drow [plural]
Rhymes: -əʊ, -aʊ Etymology: A Shetlandic and Orcadian alteration of trow, most likely influenced by an unattested Norn *drog (“malevolent [undead] being”). Trow is derived from Norn troll, or otherwise from Old Norse trǫll. L-vocalisation occurred in the early 15th century in Middle Scots, so "trolly knolls" probably became *trowie knowes around this time. The supposed Norn *drog would have been derived from Old Norse draugr.
