Comhdhail
A comhdhail or couthal was a in medieval Scotland. The word derives from Old Gaelic comdal, "tryst" or "assembly". Distinct from courts of the king, mormaers and senior barons, such courts were organized at a lower level of society, by peasant communities for themselves. It was probably similar to the English hundred or tithing court. Barrow further noted that Andrew of Wyntoun appears to have translated the Latin word lucos ("groves"), as kwthlys. Gavin Douglas' translation of Virgil used cythyll and cuthyll, implying that the word connoted a woodland clearing as well as an assembly.
