That would work too. Essentially, it's a call to battle.

I always thought that "Braw" in that context meant brave, but I'm not positive by any means.

Perhaps you mean Bonnie? As in "me bonnie lass". Bonnie or Bonny means pretty or fair.

Now if you mean briny, as in "the briny sea", that means it is about saltwater and the ocean.

If you perhaps went to spell brawny, as in "the brawny sailor hefted the barrel easily", then brawny simply means strong and/or tough.

Okay, thanks. Yeah Brawny is what I meant to say

For the first time in ages I don't understand a mole word unbelievable!

gaffer- said by formole in Mariel of redwall and I have no clue what it means

Here the sentence

Whurr do 'ee want us a-start, gaffer?

Osu · February 26, 2012, 07:03:40 AM

I think a gaffer is a grandfather or a male head-of-household. Or just an old guy.

EDIT: Dictionary.com to the rescue! "British . a foreman or overseer, especially the boss of a group of physical laborers. "

Whurr do 'ee want us a-start, gaffer? = Where do you want us to start, boss?

Yep. One of the moles in Mossflower referred to the Foremole as 'gaffer Foremole'.

I was either thinking leader or some type of insult thanks for the clarification

Gaffer in the hobbit kind of means father if thats any help?
