Sentences with CAPERCALLY (3)
CAPERCALLY, or CAPERKALLY,[1] a bird's name commonly derived from the Gaelic _capull_, a horse (or, more properly, a mare), and _coille_, a wood, but with greater likelihood, according to the opinion of Dr M'Lauchlan, from _cabher_, an old man (and, by metaphor, an old bird), and _coille_, the name of _Tetrao urogallus_, the largest of the grouse family (_Tetraonidae_), and a species which was formerly indigenous to Scotland and Ireland.
Kitchen-middens of England, Ireland and Denmark reveal the existence of the capercally, _Tetrao urogallus_, and of the great auk or gare-fowl, _Alca impennis_; both species long since vanished from those countries.
Both these birds have much in common with their larger congener the capercally and its eastern representative.
