blutherv.

Brit.

/ˈblʌðə/, U.S.

/ˈbləðər/, Scottish English

/ˈblʌθər/

Forms: Also blother, bludder.

Etymology: An onomatopoeic word, of similar formation to blubber v., with which it is often synonymous, though perhaps expressing more specifically the sound of air and liquid in the mouth, nose, and throat: compare also blether v., and especially its form blother in Skelton. Wedgwood compares, as of similar formation, Low German plodern to sound like water gushing, Bavarian pludern to guggle like water gushing out of a narrow opening (compare Middle High German blôdern to rush, rustle); also modern German plaudern , Bavarian blodern , plodern , Low German plûdern to gabble, jabber, chatter. See also bloother as a variant of blubber n.¹ (of the whale).

Scottish and northern dialect.
