  1. (obsolete outside dialects, East Anglia) A shrew (the animal).
    • 1646, Sir Thomas Browne, Pseudodoxia Epidemica, section XVIII:
      instead of a caligation or dimness, we conclude a cecity or blindness. Which hath been frequently inferred concerning other Animals, so some affirm the Water-Rat is blind, so Sammonicus and Nicander do call the Mus-Araneus, the shrew or Ranny, blind []
