One of my beta-readers noted a couple of times that she didn’t know some of the words I used. Instead of getting rid of the Scottish/Irish words and accent, I decided to add a glossary. All the Scottish words I used, and their American equivalents, are listed below.

The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
To know wisdom and instruction;
to perceive the words of understanding;
To receive the instruction of wisdom,
justice, and judgment, and equity;
To give subtlety to the simple,
to the young man knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 1:1-4
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul:
he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
Proverbs 19:8
