To Scrunch. _v. a._ and _v. n._ The act of crushing and
bringing closer together is implied, accompanied with some kind of
noise. A person may be said to scrunch an apple or a biscuit, if
in eating it he made a noise; so a pig in eating acorns. Mr.
SOUTHEY has used the word in _Thalaba_ without the s.
"No sound but the wild, wild wind,
"And the snow _crunching_ under his feet."
And, again, in the _Anthology_, vol 2, p. 240.
"Grunting as they _crunch'd_ the mast."
Scud. _s_. A scab.
Sea-Bottle. _s_. Many of the species of the sea-wrack, or
_fucus_, are called sea-bottles, in consequence of the stalks
having round or oval vesicles or pods in them; the pod itself.
Sea-crow. _s_. A cormorant.
Seed-lip. _s_. A vessel of a particular construction, in
which the sower carries the seed.
Sel'times. _adv_. Not often; seldom.
