[Paul Keating]

Equinoctial greetings to everyone, and with them a baker’s dozen of werve definitions to choose from. Please vote for two, in reply to this message, by the deadline, which is Wednesday 22 September at 22h00 CEST.

  1. Weaving. A pattern produced by arranging the warp threads in sets of alternating colors, or in sets presenting some other contrast of appearance.

  2. 1. To fish for eels by thrusting a baited hook into their lurking places. 2. To catch by werving.

  3. To speak with diction that is unbalanced, slurred, and slow, as if drunk or intoxicated.

  4. (also: werveling). A mysterious, malign half-human creature in Norse mythology.

  5. Insurance. To accept a risk that is fundamentally unassessable.

  6. A type of carved wainscoting in Victorian homes.

  7. A ‘beast’ for riding on.

  8. To genuflect before a deity [Ugaritic].

  9. A pattern of narrow, horizontal stripes in clothing.

 10. A manoeuvre in curling that makes the shot of the opposing team more difficult.

 11. A layer or series of layers of sediment deposited in a body of still water in one year.

 12. Arch. A short rib connecting the bosses and intersections of the principal ribs of a vault.

 13. Werve or “spinach teeth” is the chalky sensation in your mouth after eating raw spinach due to the high oxalic acid in the plant.

I can’t resist voting for eel fishing and spinach teeth.
