all the posts regarding driving on the right (or not) have reminded me of one of my quixotic word quests. there is an actual word, purportedly of Scottish origin, which means "the right-hand hindmost horse that walks in the furrow in plowing" -- the word is 'furrahin' [it's in W3]. so, what is the word (if it exists) for the left-hand hindmost horse; and, if the word doesn't exist, why did they have a word for the right-hand one?

hopelessly,
the obscure word guy
