        The question mark often means it's "an example of" (rather than a synonym), but you know what Griff is like with his misdirections - it could just be nothing.

                Ditto... but then Google definition says:

                sile intransitive verb
                \ " \
                -ed/-ing/-s

                Definition of sile (Entry 2 of 6)
                dialectal, chiefly British
                : to move especially downward with a flowing or gliding motion. eg: the rain siled down

                    Collins has it better: Sile definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary[^]

                    Quote:

                    sile in British English (saɪl ) VERB (intransitive) Northern England dialect to pour with rain Word origin probably from Old Norse; compare Swedish and Norwegian dialect sila to pass through a strainer

                        SILE - I am so using this "word" the next time I play scrabble. herself (journalist) will certainly challenge it and I might win a point.
