It felt good there, the well worn handle intimately comfortable in his calloused hand. His blood tricked down the haft and flowed across the slightly curved, upturned blade. Example: On the flat the planting was done in narrow lanes cut through the dense brush, weeds, and vines with "Kaiser" blades (large ditch-bank blades or brush hooks). On the other two sites the entire planting area was cleared with Kaiser blades after the trees were removed.
Word: kaiser blade Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of Kaiser blade (“sling blade”). Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: I picked up a kaiser blade that was a layin' there by the screen door, some folks calls it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade.

Word: antiquify Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From antique + -ify. 1. To give the appearance of being an antique. Example: Within these few years Sir Charles has antiquified the Hall, if such a word may be admitted, so that its pointed gable ends, and Elizabethan appearance, render it somewhat an object of curiosity. Example: But the engraver, it would seem, thought it a pity that the other portion of such a fine stone should be left unemployed; so he made that into another antique fragment, with another subject; that is to say, the head, neck, and fore-quarter of a lion (118) passant, very well engraved; not a modern heraldic lion passant, but a real grumpy-looking lion, from an arena, perhaps, of the Coliseum—it would pass for the fore-part of the group of Cybele riding on a Lion, which is a common antique subject (119); this fragment he antiquified more than the other; for whereas the one with the sacrifice is smooth on the back, the other with the lion has been much scratched.
Word: antiquification Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From antique + -ification. 1. The process of antiquifying. Labels: uncountable Example: Many of these later versions are, oddly, put into duple meter; for an edition of one such, based on Granada 3, see José López Calo, La música en la catedral de Granada en el siglo XVI (Granada, 1963), vol. II, pp. 151–3, commentary pp. xxi–xxii. Burgos s.s. puts the piece in 𝄵 meter, and Plasencia 4 in Ͼ, which makes no sense and may be a selfconscious antiquification. Example: Describing a process of antiquification-through-layering, Cooper lays a theoretical groundwork for localities to take on historical interest regardless of chronological age, and reciprocally, suggests one can, by focusing on local layers, elicit the sense of antiquity which seemed so elusive in the United States as a whole.
Word: antiquize Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From antique + -ize. 1. To give the appearance of being an antique. Example: But in his comedy (particularly that inimitable creation of Falstaffe), there is a constant flow of variety and invention;—and,—what is singular,—the language is more easy, and less tinged with the marks of antiquity, than that of his tragic dialogue. This is an exception from the common rule; for the indirect evanescent allusions, and idiomatic phraseology of comic writing are usually found to antiquize, (if I may be allowed a new coinage), before the more general ideas, and forms of expression, which occur in solemn composition. Example: […]I found myself frowning at the painting. Two figures were seated on the lawn, quite like statues. Modern dress, so there was no intent to antiquize.
Word: antiquitize Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From antiquity + -ize. 1. Alternative form of antiquize. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: I have an hypothesis of my own concerning those poems which I think I could make out to be at least highly probable: viz. that they were originally all written in modern English and antiquitized after. Had I his modernisms now published, I would take one of them and antiquitize it in two manners, à la Chaucer, and à la Chatterton, and I am persuaded that these two specimens would prove the matter clearer than all the critical arguments that either have or will be produced; and yet I think that T. Warton has done enough in that way to convince even the president of the Antiq. society (if such president were ever capable of conviction) that he was of all forgerers the most palpable; all this however no more detracts from his poetical abilities than Rousseau’s insanity does from his oratorical. Example: These projects were built mainly under principles of neo-classicism, but, like the use of the Gothic, they symbolized an attempt by the Ascendancy, to antiquitize the homescape, to make it more venerable than it was, to root it in a history it did not have.
Word: antiquitise Part of Speech: verb 1. Alternative spelling of antiquitize. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: The spirit of the Kampen historians is far less sublime and instead of antiquitising philosophical and historical remarks we rather encounter practical and instrumental guidance for the city’s administration. Example: For an individual whose stylistic bias did not preclude—in any way at all—the enjoyment of baroque church art, for one to whom the soft voice of a soul could sound even through a work such as this baldachin, to that individual even the “antiquitised” hymnody of the golden age of the baroque would still have something to say.
Word: antiquization Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From antique + -ization. 1. The act or result of antiquizing Labels: countable, uncountable Example: It is a frequent device in German prose to indicate a stylization or antiquization on the part of a speaker. Example: Streets would not only be finely paved and perfectly clean, but beautifully adorned with two identical rows of arcades or houses of the same height in an antiquization of a medieval fabric.
Word: antiquisation Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative spelling of antiquization. Labels: alt-of, alternative, uncountable Example: The antiquisation will possess the inestimable virtue of making the play clear to the Athenians. Example: With its aggressive policy of cultural and historical ‘antiquisation’ of Macedonia, by renaming Skopje’s Airport ‘Alexander the Great’ and building an over 36-metre high monument of Alexander the Great in the centre of Skopje, by initiating proceedings against Greece in November 2008 in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, and through various other initiatives that may be deemed unnecessary nationalistic provocations, it seems that the government actually used the dispute mainly for domestic purposes: to boost its ratings among the ‘patriotic’ voters and to use it as an excuse for every and any political failure.
Word: antiquitization Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From antiquity + -ization. 1. Alternative form of antiquization. Labels: alt-of, alternative, uncountable Example: As I will present it, the first moment identifies the problematics of reading what was deemed vulgar. The subsequent two moments suggest containment strategies, namely antiquitization and poeticization. The final moment delineates the effect of these strategies, namely the disappearance of the body in any capacity other than its poetic voice. Example: The room as a whole conveyed a sense of refined, contemporary taste, as summed up elegantly by Wyler: “The ‘antiquitization’, the ‘graecization’ and the ‘orientalization’ of the surroundings are certainly cultivated references that heighten the artistic quality of the décor and of the owner”.
Word: antiquitisation Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative spelling of antiquitization. Labels: alt-of, alternative, uncountable Example: Antiquitisation means the consignment of the forces of hinderances and obstructions, in the due fulfilment of the individual in freedom, to the oblivion of history. Freedom, peace and unity belong to antiquity but they have to be modernised. Example: Further and closer analysis of Buchanan’s psalm paraphrases would probably show more clearly the Christianised theme of exile, with its modes of self-consolation, appeal, and invective, which does not seem obscured, but if anything rather intensified by the ‘antiquitisation’ of their imagery and code.

But Tʻai-wan is mentioned also in the Ming-shi as a place of Ki-lung-shan, where about A.D. 1620 the red-haired barbarians (the Dutch) settled. Example: The hilly topography restricts the cultivated area mainly to the valleys of the Hsi River and of its tributaries in Kuang-hsi and Kuang-tung and the lowlands of T'ai-wan and Hai-nan. Western T'ai-wan and the Hsi River delta have extremely high population densities. 2.

Example: CHINA PROPER was divided in the K'ang-hsî reign (1662-1722) into eighteen provinces ; from 1887 to 1895, when it was ceded to Japan, Formosa, detached from Fû-chien, was a separate province under the name of T'âi-wan ;[…] 3. Alternative form of Taiwan (city of Tainan) Labels: alt-of, alternative, historical Example: Consternation and despair seized the district, and great numbers of sectaries and their families flocked together for the defence of their hearths and homes. Ch'ai Ta-ki abandoned Chang-hwa, and retired into T'ai-wan 臺灣, the chief city of the island....The rapid success of the insurgents was party owing to the circumstance that the Formosa cities in those days were unwalled, and merely surrounded by fences of living bamboo, no masonry being proof against the earthquakes frequently occurring in the island. T'ai-wan, likewise protected by a bamboo fence, was harried both from the north and the south, but successfully defended by Ch'ai Ta-ki...He called back the population, but with these many insurgents swarmed in, surprised the town again on the 10th of the third month (Apr. 27), and drove Hoh Chwang-yiu back to T'ai-wan. Example: He chose Banka as the seat of his provincial government and named it T’ai-pei (Taipei) or the North of Taiwan. T’ai-wan fu was renamed T’ai-nan (Tainan) or the South of Taiwan.
