Is this correct?
[edit]Is "all owing to" the correct expansion? The given citation uses awlung o' , which suggests all owing to of, which wouldn't be grammatical even among people speaking very informally. Equinox ◑ 23:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Specifically, I think that the given citation means along of, and not "all owing to of". Equinox ◑ 00:10, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Equinox It is not grammatical at all, whether to is included or not. The citation given is what prompted me to search, and the source is the only one I found. I was not aware of along of, but it does seem much more plausible.
By the way, I think I have another usage, but I cannot seem to decipher it; perhaps a native speaker could?__Gamren (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

- I can't understand most of it, but it's "along of" again: it's saying that a killing was not done by, or not the fault of, "Nip". Equinox ◑ 20:17, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
