balker

Rfv-sense: A person who stands on a rock or eminence to observe shoals of herring, etc., and to give notice to the men in boats which way they pass - in many dictionaries, and there are a few mentions too. It would be obsolete if it were to survive. Cappwe (talk) 21:18, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Cited, thanks to an early modern dictionary mentioning balcor as an alternative spelling. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 10:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
