examples: He was pleased with bellite, he found that carbonite made more fumes than bellite, but the explosive he liked best was ammonite.
Although this proved safe in the usual pit gas mixtures, yet it was found impossible to manipulate it, so another explosive, carbonite, made by the same firm, was tried. This was safe in small charges only ; improvements were made, and in September 1887 a carbonite consisting of saltpetre, cellulose, nitro-glycerine, and sulphuretted oil was found to be absolutely safe.
Even these explosives are, however, dangerous if the charges are large (above 300 grams for roburite and westphalite, and above 1000 grams for the carbonites), since then a momentary pressure on the air is developed (especially if the velocity of explosion is high) and a decided rise of temperature.

pos: noun
examples: There are three principal types of traditional drums in Guinean Sousou culture: the djembe, the dundun, and the tama. The djembe is a single-headed goblet-shaped drum with a relatively high-pitched tone.
The djembe is one of the best-known and popular African drums, particular with those in the West who are interested in learning a drumming tradition.
The djembe has become the most recognizable drum from West Africa, with a history that can be traced to the twelfth century Mali Empire and the Mandinka people.
Very few djembes are perfectly round. Most are slightly egg- or triangle-shaped. Lack of roundness is not a problem for sound: many such djembes sound excellent.
