In Lon- don the term is kack handed. the word being also equivalent to awkward. I_n Lancalhire it is k-pawed, in Yorkshire gallock or gawk handed. an expression dating back to at least the seventeenth century. In Derbyshire are used the terms keg handed, cork handed and ~corky handed, while in the Teasdale district cuddy handed in common, and in Nottinshamshlre wallet handed. _ v_ 41.`. ..-_`_L|_ -A -In__I_.. .I ..._`.-.r-1 L-_._.... -vv-v\o q....u-nu Ivnvuwvnau I want to go. even more than Little Lad does! she said.` ' "13 ELI-}'3?xEnT3E'ia'nE1Ei&'sf:3Zx2iYam. to denote left handednou are also found.
