Yes, but the words: tidle bore, aegir, eagre, or eygre
aegir, eagre, or eygreare not be found in Online Etymology.
... Aegir is the god of the sea in Norse mythology.
eagre:1640–50; apparently representing earlier agar, ager, obscurely akin to hyger, higre; (compare Anglo-Latin (12th century) higra the tidal bore of the Severn); compared with Old English ēgor, eogor flood, high tide, though preservation of g in modern forms is problematic
bore (v.)
O.E. borian "to bore through, perforate," from bor "auger," from P.Gmc. *buron (cf. O.N. bora, Swed. borra, O.H.G. boron, M.Du. boren, Ger. bohren), from PIE base *bher- (2) "to cut with a sharp point" (cf. Gk. pharao "I plow," L. forare "to bore, pierce," O.C.S. barjo "to strike, fight," Albanian brime "hole").

Bore, here, is also used as a growth, mole like, on
a plant, such as a tree.

There is some tie in there to your forum name, Peter. I just can't quite get it! Take your time, Candy.

I once waited nearly an hour to see a tidal bore and when it finally made it all the way up the River Hebert River to the town of River Hebert it was about 4 inches tall.
