SHORL. See SHORL, MINERALOGY Index.
SHORLING and MORLING, are words to distinguish fells of sheep; shorling being the fells after the fleeces are shorn off the sheep's back; and morling, the fells shorn off after they die or are killed. In some parts of England they understand by a shorling, a sheep whose face is shorn off; and by a morling, a sheep that dies.
