† yawv.³

Forms: 1700s–1800s yaw, 1700s–1800s yew.

Origin: Of uncertain origin.

Etymology: Origin uncertain.It has been suggested that this verb is < yaws n. (compare yaw n.²), on account of the resemblance of the scum to skin affected by the condition. However, this interpretation does not account for the early variant yew and may be based on a folk etymology.

Obsolete.

intransitive. Of a liquid: to produce a froth or scum while being heated; spec. (of sugar cane juice) to undergo cracking of the surface scum or crust by the production of vapour during refinement by heating. Also: to cause a liquid to do this.

Forms: 1600s– yaw, 1900s yau (Scottish (Shetland)).

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Partly a borrowing from Dutch. Partly a borrowing from German. Etymons: Dutch ja, German ja.

Etymology: Partly (originally) representing an Anglicized pronunciation of Dutch ja and its cognate German ja (see yea adv.), and partly (in some later uses) representing a regional or colloquial pronunciation of yea adv. With these later uses compare yah adv.

Originally in representations of German or Dutch speech, later also of regional (esp. Shetland) speech: yes. Cf. yah adv.
