Word: helm port Part of Speech: noun 1. A hole through the counter of a ship, through which the rudderstock passes. Labels: historical Example: The advantage arising from this form of rudder and mode of hanging it is this, that the hole through the counter or stern of the ship which is called the helm port, is wholly closed up by the head of the rudder passing through it, with almost a close joint, as the line of the centre of the pintles or hinges is made to pass through the centre of the rudder head, whereby the round head of the rudder becomes a large pintle before the fore side of the rudder head, and the rudder, necessarily working on the centre of the pintles, required that the hole through the counter of the ship for the reception of the head of the rudder should be made large enough to allow of the rudder working over with a radius equivalent to the diameter of the rudder head; the large helm port which was thence formed was found to be the source of leakage in the ship at all times, and, in the event of the loss of rudder at sea, the large aperture endangered the safety of the vessel. Example: The 16th-century fluyts underwent yet another change: the cove, which we can see on Brueghel's engraving, and which had a helm port in it, through which the tiller entered the ship, disappeared.
Word: helm ports Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of helm port Labels: form-of, plural

Example: ... the helm-port, or opening in the centre, where the rudder-head enters, is so reduced, that the old dangerous rudder-coat of canvass or leather -- a very insufficient barrier to the breaking through of seas and swamping of the ship -- is now dispensed with, and woodwork, called canting, is substituted.

Word: high-context culture Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Coined by anthropologist Edward T. Hall in his 1976 book Beyond Culture 1.

Word: low context culture Part of Speech: noun 1. Alternative form of low-context culture.

Example: In low context cultures, messages are mostly explicit and the words convey most of the meaning in the communication. In low context cultures, the impact of non-verbal cues is far less significant and the status of the speaker is less important in attaching meaning to what is said.
