   Lexical Influence
   The vocabulary reflects intensive historical contact with Scots and Old Norse, particularly concerning maritime activities and agricultural terms related to the harsh northern climate. Additionally, a significant portion of the lexicon, estimated at 18% of core vocabulary, consists of loanwords from an unclassified pre-Pictish substrate language whose influence is visible primarily in the nomenclature of freshwater flora and fauna [7].
