honnick mee (HONN-ick-mee) - I saw
Instead of ‘Honnick mee’, Peddyr could have said ‘Ren mee fakin’ (RENN-mee-FAHG-in) - ‘I saw’ (‘I did seeing’).

dy vel ad er chur (the-VELL-add-err-KHUR) - that they’ve put
Word for word, this means ‘that they are after putting’. The ‘c’ in ‘cur’ is changed to ‘ch’ after ‘er’, where ‘er’ can be taken to mean ‘after’.

VERB ‘TO BE’ plus ‘ER’ plus VERBAL NOUN.
