What do you do again…?

On my hunt to flesh out a fantasy city, I need to people it.  I need trades and jobs from the past, which will make it sound more authentic.  Here are a few I've come across in my hunt:


Malkin: A medieval female kitchen worker.


Skep Maker: A maker of beehives.


Puggera: One–usually a child–who treads clay into paste.


Cutty: A wanton and/or short woman.


Lidster: A dyer


Fistic: A bare knuckle fighter.


And the one I'd most like to be: Concher: One who smoothes chocolate.
