  Syle \Syle\, n. [See {Sile} a young herring.] (Zool.)
     A young herring ({Clupea harengus}). [Also written {sile}.]
     [1913 Webster]
  
           But our folk call them syle, and nought but syle,
           And when they're grown, why then we call them herring.


                                                    --J. Ingelow.
     [1913 Webster]
