[Spellyans] The words for "last night" and "evening"

[nicholas williams]

Etymology. The root *wesper >  *wisqwer > ugher (cf. W ucher).; cf.  
ughel < *uksello-
Words with -gh- are common in UC, e.g. fleghes, seghes, byghan,  
dyghow, because <-gh-> is attested in PA.
Nance adopted -gh- in preference to the commoner -h- and George  
imitated him without question.
