Four (4) in the Scottish language is = fower and it is pronounced in two syllables.
Now close your eyes and imagine cousin Nan pronouncing the number 4.
Some of the words we use down here are frighteningly close to the Scots, Middle English, Welsh, probably Irish.
The Midwesterner would say " at all"
The English would say " a-toll"
The Southerner would say " a-tall"
