ænigmata

These ænigmata consist of twenty tetrastica, or stanzas of four lines, on various subjects ; as the earth, the wind, clouds, nature, the rainbow, the moon, fortune, salt, the nettle and such like — of fourteen pentasticha of five lines, of thirteen hexasticha of six lines each, nineteen stanzas of seven lines, ten of eight lines, eleven of nine lines, and thirteen of ten lines each.

1839, Sharon Turner, The History of England: From the Earliest Period to the Death of Elizabeth, book IX, page 374:

Intermixed with these ænigmata, we find towards the latter part of the volume other poems, religious and miscellaneous.

1826, John Josias Conybeare, Illustrations of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, page 213:

In some cases, the parable possesses the interest of the riddle itself ; the examination and solution of which are so interesting to the human intellect, that the history and religious doctrines of ancient nations were often at once preserved and disguised in the form of such ænigmata.

1830, The Quarterly Review, article V, page 486:

It is sufficiently obvious, that the first of these ænigmata relates to the Chess-Knight, the second to the Chess-Queen, and the last to the Chess-Pawn ; but the third receives unusual illustration by a view of the Pawns which form part of the set discovered in the Isle of Lewis, which present to us the octagonal shape alluded to by Gest ; and this adds a collateral proof in support of their Northern manufacture.

1841, Chess Player’s Chronicle, page 272:

…the cleric’s name, Cynewulf, becomes in sequence torch, bow, necessity, horse, happiness, man, sea, wealth. His signature was a cryptogram, one of those ænigmata so congenial to the Anglo-Saxon imagination. The works where the runes are inserted are all of a homiletic nature…

dogman

吊車司機的助手，主要幫忙扣緊貨物和指揮操作員。

Accordingly, during 1972 the union embarked upon a concerted campaign to enforce the use of two dogmen on each crane.

1998, Meredith Burgmann, Verity Burgmann, Green Bans, Red Union: Environmental Activism and the New South Wales Builders Labourers′ Federation, page 108,

The usual crane crew required for operation of the site was one crane driver and two dogmen, but the BLF insisted that the builder keep a relief crane driver and a relief dogman permanently on site.

2005, Henry Pollack, The Accidental Developer: The Fascinating Rise to the Top of Mirvac Founder Henry Pollack, page 243,

The only work I had done as a dogman was to use a crane on the back of a truck ‘slinging loads’ and work the crane and truck myself.

2010, Raymond D. Clements, Aussie Rogue, page 59,

They then contact a dogman in that area to make arrangements to have the fight at a location that he provides.

2004, Alex Thio, Thomas C. Calhoun, Readings in Deviant Behavior，第 325 頁:

A dogman's legs are back bent, crooked as a dog's. Its body is covered in fine fur, and its face has a dog-like snout and ear. A dogman's arms and torso are completely humanoid, save for the its strange paws, that are vaguely human-like, but with thick dark claws.

2002, Sovereign Stone: Bestiary of Loerem:

Their apparent hybrid nature makes them “dogmen” or “man-wolves.”

The system will require good support, and, it may be, a course of tonics, such as a grain or two of quinine, night and morning, in the form of a pill; or, using one of the Condition Pills you see advertised in this book—Clayton's, Dent's or Seargeant's—they are all good, made by dogmen for dogs, and you won't go amiss in using either of them in such cases.

1902, Alvin George Eberhart, Everything about Dogs，第 112 頁:

Every one of those dogmen has been either cajoled, bribed, or commanded by his own particular Circe to take the dear household pet out for an airing.

A dogman, he said, likes having tails wagged at him, wants to be looked up to, and tends for that reason to be quite a good leader. A catman, on the other hand, is made slightly uncomfortable by spaniel eyes and devoted tail thumpings.

1968, John Montgomery, The World of Cats，第 12 頁:

Now another important component of the skeleton is under scrutiny by some of our most respected dogmen and -women: the anatomy of the chest and the relationship between the correct rib cage and loin.

The evidence for dark matter in galaxies started to accumulate in the mid-1970s. By the following decade it became clear that essentially all galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are surrounded by extensive halos of dark matter.

2001, Susan M. Fitzpatrick, John T. Brue, Carving Our Destiny: Scientific Research Faces a New Millennium,

On large scales like that of clusters of galaxies, gravitational lensing indicates that the dark matter is smoothly distributed, on the average.

Yet it is not difficult to see that Oölogy promises to become an important auxiliary both in aiding to determine natural divisions, and to enable us to decide in regard to varieties the specific identity of which is in doubt. Let us take an instance. [...] Without looking at all to the external structure of these birds, Oölogy would seem to indicate that the Cat-Bird, though closely allied to the true Mocking-Bird, is at least one step, and that the Brown Thrush is even farther, removed.

pass over

過境；穿過或橫越（某物）。

It was a casual sneer, obviously one of a long line. There was hatred behind it, but of a quiet, chronic type, nothing new or unduly virulent, and he was taken aback by the flicker of amazed incredulity that passed over the younger man's ravaged face.

1963, Margery Allingham, 章號 8, 出自 The China Governess:

繞過 (某物)；略過（某物）。

"But why should I be in another room?" "You passed over in the night." "Passed over? Do you mean I died?" "Yes, lady, you died." There was a long silence.

wolfess

The dog eloped with a white wolfess, and proved a good husband and father until his household was destroyed by relentless man.

“Yes, they got here hours ago, just about the time you went prowling around like a wolf, they were supposed to come tomorrow, but I guess they changed their minds on the date.” / “Wolf, am I?” Jack laughed, taking the hint belatedly. “Well, maybe I am, and you are the wolfess I’m after. Woof, woof, I am coming after you.” / Anna backed away feigning fear, then laughed.

“Another day in the George Lawrence Empire. Scene, the fox-trot ballroom. Characters, a wolfess aged forty-two and yours truly.” He rolled his eyes like a woman’s. “Tommy, hold me tight, will you honey?” he whispered in the role of the wolfess. Then the woman’s eyes changed into the sly and sad and abandoned eyes of a homo.

1954, Benjamin Appel, Sweet Money Girl: A Gold Medal Original，第 64 頁:

In the crowd that welcomed him home, consisting of about eleven creatures, for all the others were hiding under beds, there was a speed-crazy young wolfess, with built-in instantaneous pickup ability, and in no time at all the wolf and his new-found mate were setting new records for driving upside down, backward, blindfolded, handcuffed, and cockeyed, doubled and redoubled.

Allyn Ann McLerie slinks skillfully as cat and wolfess; Richard Hayes struts smoothly as “The Stork Who Married a Dumb Wife;” Kaye Ballard unleashes her lush voice, and Bert Convy and Nancy Haywood exploit their youthful vitality in numerous guises.

To prove the truth of his story, the werewolf, “using his claw as a hand, drew off the pelt from the head of the wolfess and folded it back even as far down as the navel, whereupon there was plainly to be seen the body of an old woman.”

1971, Daniel Cohen, A Natural History of Unnatural Things，第 46 頁:

The dispute between Romulus and Remus, resulting in the death of Remus at the hands of Romulus, purportedly took place during their search for a new city-site to be situated near the place where they were suckled and saved by a wolfess when abandoned as infants.

1973, Roman Art in West Coast Collections，第 49 頁:

Once upon a time there was a pretty young wolfess who was happy and carefree. She liked to flirt with all the young wolves, go to rabbit runs, and sleep till noon. She enjoyed all the nice things that young, carefree wolfesses do.

1979, David Knox, Exploring Marriage and the Family，第 45 頁:

Ahead was a huge door to a walk-in safe, tucked behind in a long, partitioned desk and guarded by a pretty, prim-looking white wolfess in a Politzi-like ALPHA uniform. / Janoah walked over and exchanged salutes. The safe door was ajar, to her surprise. / “Who’s in there?” she demanded of the white wolfess.

2017, Adam Browne, Imperium Lupi, Dayfly Publications:

有侵略性的女人；肉食性女子。

He’ll enjoy the game, and if he goes into it with his eyes wide open, he won’t be ensnared by any tricks the wolfess plays on him. Not your man. He’s yours!

1946, Elizabeth Woodward, Let’s Have a Party，第 19 頁:

The hostess who invites only the gals whom she thinks she can outshine in looks and conversation, so that she’ll be queen of the ball, will swiftly win the reputation of having only female goons and creeps at her parties. Boys also duck the wolfess who manages to invite five men to every girl so that, although all of the frails enjoy a dizzy whirl, most of the men just stand around talking to one another. […] Keep your wolfess tactics away from a school dance or party, especially when they’re aimed at somebody else’s date.
