Описание: The title refers to the act of watching over the dead between the death and funeral, known as a wake. "Lyke" is an obsolete word meaning a corpse. It is related to other extant Germanic words such as the German Leiche, the Dutch lijk and the Norwegian lik, all meaning "corpse". It survives in modern English in the expression lychgate, the roofed gate at the entrance to a churchyard, where, in former times, a dead body was placed before burial, and the fictional undead monster type lich. "Lyke-wake" could also be from the Norse influence on the Yorkshire dialect: the contemporary Norwegian and Swedish words for "wake" are still likvake and likvaka respectively (lik and vaka/vake with the same meanings as previously described for "lyke" and "wake")
