Well, that's just my screw-up from moving things around. Having to handle
the definitions and the posting manually, I had so many versions before I

It might be 5, or 8, but probably neither!

5. a small wheel, made of leather, with rounded edges, used in
polishing spoons, etc.

8. a mounted spearman in the Persian army; a formation of such
spearmen.
