Cameron also records Warbreck as, "Scandinavian words also occasionally found include <i>brekka</i> "slope, hill", a term associated with Norwegian, as distinct from Danish, settlement in England. It has given, besides Breck, Norbreck and Norbrick "north", Warbreck "with a cairn or beacon"...* Note the use of 'with'.
