Examples
“The salmon, 'right orgillous and presumptive,' still kept the strength of the stream, and abating nothing of its vigour, went swiftly down the _whirls_; then through the _Boat shiel_, and over the shallows, till he came to the throat of the _Elm Wheel_, down which he darted amain.”
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine — Volume 54, No. 333, July 1843
