What reading level is The Dialect And Place Names of Shetland; Two Popular Lectures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus far about the few place-names, containing pro- bable pre-Norse traces in Shetland. I now turn to other more common kinds of place-names and begin with the class which is by far most comprehensive, that is the one containing places, named according to the form of the land. Most of the Shetland place-names, as before mentioned, contain in themselves a description of the places they are applied to. I divide this class of names into sub-divisions, taking first the various kinds of inland heigh...ts (hills, braes and hillocks), then the level ground and the various kinds of valleys, glens and hollows, then 74 THE OLD SHETLAND DIALECT.
the various formations of the shore or " banks," then the various indentations of the sea, and finally the small islands and rocks in the sea along the coast. There are in the Shetland place-names between twenty and thirty words standing for hill or height, each word most often denoting a certain shape of a height — and by compound- ing some ofthese words, two and two, the language is able to express two or more characteristics of a place in one name.
