I was trying to explain to MacT that 'Haver' was used in the Proclaimers song.'
To 'haver' (third-person singular simple present havers, present participle havering, simple past and past participle havered)
(Scottish) to talk foolishly; to chatter; talking nonsense; to babble.
I would have preferred 'maunder'. To speak in a disorganized or desultory manner; to prattle.
After all in1889 — Mark Twain, in 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, ch XVII' Wrote:
"What are you maundering about? He's going out from here a free man and whole—he's not going to Try." Or words to that effect.
I hope that clarifies my position viz-a-vie the juxtaposition of lexicon irregularities.
Enjoy your weekend.
