glishy – sticky?

Surely it’s more ‘shiny’ or ‘glossy’?

Thanks for this – couple of alternative suggestions: Tidgy is an alt. to “titchy”, which means little, small. Jipping, to me, means giving pain.- “My arthritis is giving me jip”. And “nobbut” may be a contraction of “nowt but” = nothing but. “Nowt” rhymes with clout, bout, etc.

I also managed to squeeze in another eleventh-hour interview before the hiatus, which I am trying to cut down from unspecified months to a few weeks at most. The interview relates to the lexicon unveiled yesterday. [...]
