Plural of birkie; in Scottish contexts, it can refer to birch trees or small birch-related items, though the term is quite rare and regional.
From Scottish 'birk' (birch tree) with the diminutive suffix '-ie' creating a small or affectionate form. The plural adds the standard '-s' ending.
This word captures how Scottish English creates diminutives so naturally—just like 'doggie' in English, Scots adds '-ie' to make things feel smaller or cuter, turning 'birk' (birch) into 'birkie.' It's a linguistic hug!
