Adverb

traw

  1. (literary) Alternative form of draw (there, yonder, over)
Usage notes
[edit]

This adverb is found almost exclusively in its soft-mutated form draw today except in literary contexts where forms such as aspirate-mutated thraw may be encountered. In essence, draw has become the unmutatable, standard form of the word.

Mutation
