Talk:Leat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The OED doesn't document the spelling lete, which is a different archaic word meaning "leach". Ortolan88
'Not just to a watermill' but to any industrial process, hammer mill, forge or furnace bellows, mineral washery/classification process , dye works, irrigation system and, no doubt, many others which need lots of water. The word, although not common in recent times, has been used more widely than the article suggests. I think I have also seen it spelt 'leet' 82.47.176.254 22:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)mikeL
