BONCE ABOUT is played with a big kind of marbles, called "bonces." The game does not require much skill. The first player puts down his bonce, and the second aims at it from a given distance. If he hits the bonce of the first player with his own, he wins a marble; if not, the first player aims at the bonce of the second, from the place where his own rests. Each time the bonces strike together, a marble is lost and won. […] The Dutch marbles of grey stone, sometimes stained with various colours, are the honest workable marbles for "shoot in the ring," and similar games.

Senses:
gloss: One eighth of the total area of the celestial dome; used as a measure of cloudiness (one okta means that one eighth of the sky is obscured, two oktas that one quarter is obscured, and so on).

‘Fog is traditional for the season and cloud is anticipated at six to seven oktas, sir.’
Mean cloud amount distributions are transformed to normal distributions. The accuracy of the method is indicated by the retrieval of the original distribution with a typical error of 14% in the frequency of each okta of cloud amount.
For example, it has been estimated that a Landsat satellite, which revisits a particular location once every 16 days, will obtain a cloud-free scene of a particular location in Britain only once per year, and a scene with 1 okta of cloud (an okta is one eighth of the sky obscured by cloud) only twice per year.

Etymology: From Middle English hord, from Old English hord (“an accumulation of valuable objects cached for preservation or future use; treasure; hoard”), from Proto-West Germanic *hoʀd, from Proto-Germanic *huzdą (“treasure; hoard”), of unknown origin, but possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *kewdʰ- (“to conceal, hide”), thus meaning “something hidden”. Cognate with German Hort (“hoard; refuge”), Icelandic hodd (“treasure”), Latin cū̆stōs (“guard; keeper”).
For the meaning development, compare Russian сокро́вище (sokróvišče, “treasure”) related to Russian скрыва́ть (skryvátʹ, “to hide, to conceal”).

pos: noun
examples: 2002, Rovert E. A. Stewart, Barbara E. Stewart, Female Reproductive Systems, entry in Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, page 425,
The allantois fuses with the chorion, forming a small round area, the allentochorion. This region becomes the placenta (Fig. 3).
In this illustration, some license is taken, since the amnion is shown as still separate from the chorion; this is done to illustrate the process of apposition of the amniotic sac to the chorion and to accentuate the interposition of the yolk sac between the amnion and the chorion.
The amnion and chorion begin to develop soon after fertilization and continue to grow until about 28 weeks′ gestation.
gloss: The outer case of an insect egg.
pos: noun
examples: The chorion has a predominantly lamellar structure, the lamellae being two-dimensional networks of protein fibrils.
Even closely related species may have chorions differing in thickness. In the silkmoths, for example, the chorion of Bombyx is about 25 μm thick while that of Hyalophora is 55 μm thick.
2008, John L. Capinera, Eggs of Insects, entry in John L. Capinera (editor), Encyclopedia of Entomology, page 1290,
