- (4:18) "Some times youwl hear of a aulder kincher he carries away childer"
Kincher = cancer? EB Or "older kinship"—in the sense of Riddley's forebears having betrayed/exploited their children. GW Childer is the plural of child in most Scottish and North English dialects. As far as I know, it is not common in Kent or elsewhere in the South. EB
Kincher is also an archaic word for a thief or rogue. RG
