Word: shoad Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Middle English shode, schode, from Old English ġescēad (“separation, distinction, discretion, understanding, argument, reason, reckoning, account, statement, accuracy, art, manner, method”), from Proto-Germanic *skaidą (“separation, distinction”), from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to cut, divide, separate”). Related to Old English scādan (“to separate, divide, part, make a line of separation between”). More at shed. 1. Loose fragments (often of metal ore) mixed with earth. Example: The earliest mining consisted simply in collecting shoads — a means of gaining a livelihood not yet totally discarded. Example: Eluvial wolfram was known from the Mount Carbine area 50 miles northwest from Cairns before 1895, but the black shoads were at first thought to be manganese (hence the name Manganese Creek for the little creek at the village).
Word: shoad Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From Middle English shode, schode, from Old English ġescēad (“separation, distinction, discretion, understanding, argument, reason, reckoning, account, statement, accuracy, art, manner, method”), from Proto-Germanic *skaidą (“separation, distinction”), from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to cut, divide, separate”). Related to Old English scādan (“to separate, divide, part, make a line of separation between”). More at shed. 1. To seek for a vein or mineral deposit by following a shode, or tracing them to whence they derived. Example: In shoading it is necessary to distinguish between heavy and light ores, and between friable and hard materials. Example: It is manifest from the position of the neck that the great mass of material removed by denudation in forming the hollow in which it is seen exposed, must have been washed down the stream in question, and had diamonds occurred in that mass it is highly improbable that none should have been left in the bed and banks of the stream where their existence would certainly have been discovered by the old diamond seekers in former generations, who would have “shoaded” up the stream and have inevitably reached the neck. 2. To be distributed as shoads. Example: Among the fragments shoaded down the sloping surface of the ground are pieces of edgewise intraformational conglomerate. Example: The discovery of davidite at Radium Hill was made in 1906, by Mr. A. J. Smith, who mistook the black shoaded mineral for tin ore.

Word: Zealandic Part of Speech: name Etymology: Etymology tree English Zealand Proto-Indo-European *-ikos Proto-Italic *-ikos Latin -icuslbor. Old French -iquebor. Middle English -ik English -ic English Zealandic From Zealand + -ic. 1. The dialect of Danish spoken in Zealand, island in the North Sea. Example: This "Danish" in fact reflected local dialects; a standard language did not yet exist. But a certain dominance of Zealandic forms is visible already in the late Middle Ages: the administrative, ecclesiastical and commercial center of Denmark lay on Zealand (Roskilde, Copenhagen), and a Zealandic chancery style (inspired by German and Latin syntax) was developing. Example: Here it seems natural to pay attention to some North-east Zealandic names ending in -rum, viz. Wigarum, AEsarum (and Niartherum ?). 2. Alternative spelling of Zeelandic, a language spoken in Zeeland, province of the Netherlands. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: In Zealandic Dutch ben- is the stem for the present tense for all persons except for 3SG (is). Example: Within Middle Dutch we can distinguish five large dialect groups: Flemish (including Zealandic), sometimes subdivided into West and East Flemish, was spoken in the modern region ofWest and East Flanders (Ghent, Bruges, Courtray); Brabantian was the language of the area covered by the modern Dutch province of North Brabant and the Belgian provinces of Brabant and Antwerp; Hollandic was mainly used in the present day provinces of North and South Holland and parts of Utrecht, while the people in Limburg (now a part of the Netherlands and Belgium) communicated in the Limburgish dialect.

Word: NINJA loan Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by the American lending company HCL Finance from an approximate initialism of no income, no job, no assets. 1. A subprime loan issued to borrowers with no job, income, or assets. Example: On top of all this, banks are prying less into the private lives of their mortgage applicants.

One mortgage provider, HCL Finance, advertises itself as the "home of the 'no doc' loan." Among the products listed on its Web site is the NINJA loan: Even borrowers with "No Income, No Job and No Assets" are welcome to apply.
