<br>Subject: More thole
<br>
<br>        With all of this talk about "tole" and "thole", I was wondering of
<br>anyone ever heard of "thole" meaning "to put up with", as in "I thole the
<br>construction just outside my flat".  I know it's a Scots word, but I was
<br>just curious to see if it remained in southern and/or midland anywhere.
