Sorry bout not quoting your entire post, but I
have it written here on a slightly wrinkled napkin,
and can reproduce it if asked.

Never read Orlando so wish I could help but
I caint.

Per some people on this list closer to Scotland, they
suggest that the Scottish usage of "glaur" as mud or
slime (per OED) is probably the one meant by
TRP.

Hope this helps.
