As for the 3 syllables thing, that sound pretty fishy to me.

It is pretty fishy. It's not a rule or anything. I think it's just a habit people have adopted to sound sophisticated.

Today, blogen throgen,
I ate some porridge, and then, a long while after, I ate some stotties and minces.
I felt the most Northern I have ever felt in my life whilst doing so.
I think the only way I could have felt more Northern is if I had called the stotties "barm cakes".
