I'm astonished so few people care about the Prime Minister being blackmailed by a senior donator to the party. Absolutely astonished.

It's a "Historical Thesaurus of Scots" that's being compiled though; so it'll include a lot of words that may not be in current usage.

However, if you accept that Scots exists as a language and that the context is a Scots thesaurus then I think it's OK to say that "snaw" is a Scots word. We wouldn't disqualify "brave" from being a French word on the grounds that it's just the English "brave" pronounced with a French accent. :-)
