v. — archaic, Newfoundland
to remember.
Type: 2. Preservation — Mind as a transitive verb in Newfoundland is synonymous with 'remember' or 'recall'. Originally in dialectal use across England and Scotland (EDD, s.v. "mind" (v.1)), the term was brought to Newfoundland by migrant fishermen in the 18th and 19th centuries. Clarke (2010b: 103-104) notes that Newfoundland English contains a host of terms that have become obsolete in standard varieties of English, as is reflected by the "archaic" marking of mind in Gage-5 (s.v. "mind" (9)), but have been preserved in regional use. Mind can also be found in some Southern and Midland dialects of the US (see DARE, s.v. "mind" (C.2)).
