Usage notes

"Thild" is a fossil word and is only used in the phrase "to have (no, little or much) thild". The more common version of the phrase is "to have (no, little or much) thole" which can still be found in common usage, as inː "I have a tarrible bad thole when there's whiskey about" or "to have no thole for bullshit".
