  Music
Glaur - (gla-oor) This is a short, broad-mouthed and flaring curved horn, resembling a cornucopia in shape and fashioned of silver (which gives the clearest tone), copper, or brass.
A glaur is usually fitted with a row of valves like those of a trumpet, so that the sound it makes can be varied in pitch.
Played correctly, the valves of a glaur are not used to change the distinct note being played, but rather cause the instrument's tone to rise or fall from the note presently played to the newly selected one.

In fact Glaur was almost embaressed to remember how he had actually come to get to know elina much better when he sat eavesdropping in that tree, thinking Hathel and her were having a moment, and then falling from the great mallyrn's branch and bruising himself up quite a bit.
Glaur's mood darkened immediately however as another elf came completely uninvited over to the table, he was even more annoyed at how the elf had almost immediately tried to start charming Elina, even when she still didn't know his name "And you are?" Glaur asked, his voice slightly irate
Glaur's asking for the edhel's name coming at just that moment precludes anymore statement and she waits to hear it.

I came downstairs to find Arwen giggling at nothing, Glaur staring at his hand like it was the most interesting thing he'd ever seen, and a thick cloud of smoke all over the room, with Sam just puffing away like everything's fine.
He grabbed Glaur and I managed to get Arwen outside, where she told me she felt dizzy and then promptly fell asleep.

So I think muckit and glaur are very expressive words to use to try and get through to people just the state these are in when they come out of the river.
Despite popular opinion to the contrary, there's still a great deal of lexical diversity in the UK and there are numerous words in everyday use that have only local or regional currency.
The origins of the word glaur, however, are more obscure, though its use was noted in the Survey of English Dialects - the first comprehensive survey of its kind into native English dialects undertaken by the University of Leeds in the 1950s.

However, as this meant walking into the wind across the tops, with no path, and the time now being after 1 o’clock, we decided to play safe and head back, but not before disturbing dozens of grey/white mountain hares, who were enjoying the sun sheltered in the peat hags.
The path back down, past a cairn of white granite which could almost be a memorial to the wartime flyers, seemed even more slippy than before, and I lost count of the number of times I measured myself on the ground, ending up covered in glaur, much amusement for some!.
The trail back was spent thinking about the wreck and the fate of the young men who had come from all corners of the world to train here in Scotland for a war that seems so remote now.
