Word: cruive Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from Scots cruive, from Middle Scots cruve, crove, from Old Irish cró, from Proto-Celtic *kruwos, *kruwyos, from Proto-Indo-European *krewH-. Pronunciation: /kɹuːv/ 1. A kind of weir or dam for trapping salmon. Labels: Scotland, archaic Example: Among other Acts revived are the Act 1424, c. 11 (or 12), the Act 1457, c. 34 (or 86), and the Act 1477, c. 73, statutes which prohibit the use of cruives and yairs, which do not create any exception in favour of the Solway, and which became law before any such exemption was introduced. The Act 1685, c. 20 (or 24) further appointed certain persons called masters of game, in various parts of the country, including the counties of Dumfries and Wigton, and in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, to enforce its provisions under a commission for that purpose, for a period of seven years, and until the commission should be recalled. From this limitation to the commission granted to the masters of game, it has been argued, that the statute was only a temporary one, and that not only the appointment of these officers, but also the revival of the former statutes was only for a period of seven years. But although the commission granted was only for a limited period, it has been decided that the Act was perpetual in so far as it revived the former Acts (e) [a footnote mark]. The question thus arises whether the exception of 'the water of the Solway' from the Act 1563, c. 68, still subsists, or whether it has been abrogated by the later Act just referred to; in other words, whether the exemption of the Solway in the Act of 1563, prohibiting cruives and yairs, has a prospective effect, so as to take those waters out of the operation of any subsequent prohibitions, or revival of old prohibitions, of a like nature that might be enacted. If this question had not been decided or judicially assumed, it might be supposed that it was more probable, on the whole, that the exemption had no such prospective effect. The difference in the circumstances of the kingdom at the two dates might fairly account for the change of policy in regard to the Solway. In 1563 the two countries were held by distinct and hostile governments, and it was not wonderful that the debateable ground of the Solway should be exempted from restrictions which could not be enforced over its whole surface, and which, if enforced on the Scotch side only, would be certainly broken through by the English marauders. In 1685, however, both kingdoms were ruled over by one sovereign; a more amicable policy had, since the accession of James I., been adopted in legislation; and it might therefore be supposed that the exception in favour of the Solway had lapsed by implication, and that the fisheries of all parts of the kingdom were thenceforward to be governed by uniform statutory regulations.

Word: pedality Part of Speech: noun Etymology: ped- (“soil”) + -ality. Pronunciation: /pəˈdælɪti/ 1. The physical structure of a soil, especially in the context of its constituent peds. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Following the ideas of the Soil Survey Manual (Soil Survey Staff, 1951), Bullock et al. (1985) recommended to describe the grade of pedality as part of the description of microstructure. Bullock et al. (1985) and FitzPatrick (1984) based for micromorphological descriptions their grading on the only criterion visible in thin sections, namely the degree to which the aggregates are surrounded by voids. Systematic comparision of micromorphological and field descriptions revealed serious discrepancies in many cases. Specially soils with a high score for pedality in the field were not evaluated as such in thin sections (Langohr, personal communication), as pedality is not only a factor of separation.
Word: pedality Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From pedal + -ity. Pronunciation: /pəˈdælɪti/ 1. The anatomical formation of the foot and surrounding region. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Cloven-footednesse includes pedality. Example: A rusty brown coat, of antique cut, fitted closely to a long ungainly body; a pair of greasy galligaskins, which had once been gray, rand down into the capacious jaws of a long and large pair of rusty boots; these noticeable articles, from their make, must once have cased the nether extremities of a horseman in Rupert's troop, or have defended the pedalities of some old smuggler for many a long year. 2. Something that is associated with the foot, such as the way it is used (for locomotion or measurement) or the articles of clothing worn on it. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: I was followed by my noble hostess (womewhat more, be it understood, than a middle-aged lady), who gravely sate down, and, bidding me take off my cravat, like Thomson's Musidora—"...from her leg the inverted worsted drew"— pinned it scientifically round my throat, with the comfortable assurance that it would be "no sort of good" unless applied warm from the foot. The kind lady had hardly left, when —unthankful wretch that I was!—I unpinned the pedality, and next morning restored it with my best acknowledgments of its anti-pertussian efficacy. Example: Changes in pedality can occur in animals due to injury, congenital defects, or behaviour.
