Giher

/ˈɡɪhər/ noun

Definition

A ridge or furrow in plowed ground; a raised line of earth created by a plow; variant or dialectal term in agricultural contexts.

Etymology

From Old English or Middle English agricultural terminology; possibly related to 'gore' (a triangular piece of land) or similar field-division terms. Dialectal survival in rural English.

Kelly Says

Agricultural words like giher survive only in rural dialects and farming communities—they're disappearing as fewer people plow fields by hand, taking centuries of specific vocabulary with them.
