An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932)

Jakobsen, Jakob

hatt [hat], sb., scum, skin, which gathers on the surface of a liquid, e.g. milk, collected for churning (Uⁿ.), and on bland (whey mixed with water), kept during the winter in closed barrels. Prop. hat, head-covering. In the same sense as hatt is also found, e.g. in Du., a compd.: hatterskum [ha‘t·ərskūm·], which might be an old *hattarskúm (hattar, gen. of O.N. hǫttr, hattr, m., a hat, which has also been applied in a wider sense to a covering for the upper part of anything).
