The Scottish word for 'two,' still used in Scottish English and Scots language.
From Old English 'twegen' and Proto-Germanic *'twai.' Scottish preserved this older form while standard English evolved to 'two.' Robert Burns made it famous in poetry.
Burns wrote 'O my Luve is like a red, red rose / That's newly sprung in June...I will luve thee still, my dear, / Till a' the seas gang dry.' Using 'twa' and other Scots words gave his poetry a unique texture—it wasn't quaint, it was powerful.
