Hokie
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: A term used in "Old Hokie", the athletic cheer of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, which cheer was composed by Oscar M. Stull of the VPI Class of 1896 as the winning submission of a student body contest held to mark the changing of the university's name from Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College (VAMC) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (VPI) in 1896. Stull's original term was in the form Hoki (the terminal "-e" was a later addition); the beginning lines of the cheer as composed by Stull were: "Hoki Hoki Hoki Hy / Techs Techs V.P.I!" Though "hokie" (an alternative form of "hokey" and "hoky") is, indeed, an English adjective derived from the verb hoke, and means "contrived" or "sentimental", Stull himself indicated (whether truly or falsely) that he fabricated the term solely as a poetic device for his cheer, in which case "Hokie" might be viewed as a type of nonsense word. Whichever is the case, sometime in the early 20th century Hokie, assumedly because of its prominent position in the school cheer and because of the inherent euphony of the word itself, was decontextualized from Stull's cheer to be applied as an identifier of VPI students and alumni, collectively known as "Hokies", as well as to the mascot of the school's athletic teams, an abstractive representation of a turkey (which is another story), in one of the unusual examples of school mascot naming. Compare Hoya/Hoyas.

pos: noun
examples: 1980, National Research Council (U.S.) Select Committee on the National Weather Service, Technological and Scientific Opportunities for Improved Weather and Hydrological Services in the Coming Decade, page 44,
The ultimate limitation of radiosonde networks is the impracticality of global deployment. […] Although, in principle, satellite soundings should be able to match radiosonde accuracies, in practice, they have errors of at least twice those of radiosondes.
Thus, the performance characteristics of radiosondes and the relative accuracy of radiosonde winds have been the subject of a great deal of scrutiny over the last few decades.
Sounding balloons carry a payload, usually a radiosonde, to heights of 30 km or more.

The foehns of the northern Alps are world-renowned for the formation of thermal belts on the alp terraces above the deep, U-shaped, glaciated valleys. Here the foehn phenomenon was first identified and the German word for "fall" or "descent" applied to it.

This is particularly noticeable in Foehn winds—warm winds that descend from mountainous areas down to areas of lower elevation.
Wind patterns considered Foehn include the dry southerly wind blowing through the Alps, Switzerland and across southern Germany. The Sharav or Hamsin winds blowing through the desert in the Middle East are also Foehn winds. The Sirocco winds that blow through Italy and the Mistral winds that blow through southern France are both considered Foehns.

If reports from the time are to be believed, 17th-century Poland was awash in revenants—not vampires, exactly, but proto-zombies who harassed the living by drinking their blood or, less disagreeably, stirring up a ruckus in their homes.
gloss: Returning.
pos: adj
examples: On clear nights when the moon was full, she waited for its shining revenant ghost.
[…]which, in turn, led to the first U.S. vessel to be lost that day, as an Avenger touched down near the destroyer USS Porter, which, shortly thereafter, took a torpedo hit, quite possibly from the Avenger's weapon deciding that, well, water immersion must surely mean that it should activate. USS Shaw, the revenant survivor of Pearl Harbor, was then forced to rescue the surviving crew of both the Porter and the aircraft before finishing off the stricken Porter with its guns.

The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the puggle, returning every 5 days to suckle it until it is weaned at 7 months.
