[Dixonary] Round 3092 PYKESTOLE Defs - Vote Now!
Here we have a fine selection of defs - 13 in all - of the word PYKESTOLE,
only one of which came from my dictionary. Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this message, before the deadline of: 21:00 BST on Friday 31st July, which is 22:00 CET 20:00 GMT/UTC 4:00 PM EDT 1:00 PM PDT 08:00 NZST on Saturday in New Zealand New players are welcome, just don't look up the word until after you've voted. *** PYKESTOLE *** 1. [Sc.] a closure for a sporran. 2. to flip or cause to flip end over end. 3. (Steam Engine) the lap of a slide valve. 4. a gold coin equal to two escudos, formerly used in Spain. 5. a component of plate armor to protect the knee or the front of the thighs. 6. an especially ornate scarf worn by a bishop during his or her consecration. 7. [Obs.] a game or sport formerly played at Ripon, Yorkshire, on Easter Monday. 8. an irregular heartbeat where the two ventricles are slightly out of synchronization. 9. a large covering, usually having handles and made of leather, used to safely transport quantities of polearms. 10. transl. of Vulgate _stolam primam_ (Greek στολὴν τὴν πρώτην), ‘the best robe’ in the parable of the Prodigal Son. 11. a reusable eel bait consisting of a small ball of live earthworms packed in linen and tied with a sheep tendon. (Swed.) 12. a lavishly ornamented garment worn during Medieval and Early Modern times by the leader of an English band of mummers, or travelling players. 13. [Obs] a piece of furniture in an armoury; a long legged stool with radial spokes used for sharpening pikes but also turned upside down to store sharpened pikes, (similar use to a modern umbrella stand). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
