intr. Of a (small) dog: to yelp, bark. Hence, of a child or small or insignificant person: to speak in a cheeky or peevish manner; to whinge.
1808 J. Jamieson Etymol. Dict. Sc. Lang. (at cited word), Nyaff, to yelp, to bark. It properly denotes the noise made by a small dog; although sometimes applied to a the pert chat of a saucy child, or of any person of a diminutive appearance.

The zucchetto (/tsʊˈkɛtoʊ/; Italian pronunciation: t͡sukˈketto;1 Italian: "small gourd", from zucca, "pumpkin",2 figuratively referred to the human head3)
The ant is tenacious, strong, aggressive, generous, and very meticulous. The Ants most pronounced characteristic is patience. An ant can wait patiently for hours, hidden in the sand, for its prey, or it can transport items larger than itself over long distances without giving up. Ants typically live in groups, and everything is done for the ant colony and the good of the community. The ant teaches that you will have everything you need and will receive it when you need it most. It is the symbol of basic trust. It knows that it will ultimately be rewarded for all its efforts. If your activities are for the common good, then you will receive back any energy that you have expended in amplified form. It may be, however, that you will have to put greater effort into the realization of your dreams and use your creativity.
The horse shows both earthly strength and unearthly powers. It is regarded highly throughout the world and connected with the magical powers of shamans. With the help of the horse's speed, a person can cover long distances in a relatively short period of time. The horse has also made transportation of goods a lot easier. It is, therefore, the first and foremost totem animal of civilization. The power of an engine to this day is measured in horsepower. Riding a horse conveys a sense of freedom. It teaches that power cannot be attained by force, but rather that it is given to him who is willing to accept responsibility in a respectful manner. Just as the horse carries its rider on its back, the rider carries responsibility for everything around him. The power of the horse is the wisdom to remember all the steps in one's life and learn from them. This includes experiences from a previous life. Real power is strength used with wisdom. This requires love, compassion, and the willingness to share one's achievements and insights with others. It is important not to let our ego deny us access to this power.
The Parrot is a message of selfishness, self-centeredness and self importance. The Parrot is a showy and brightly colored identity whom has developed a self important illusion about his place in the hierarchy of life, and his journey is that of recognizing the imposter in himself. Parrots love the sound of their own opinionated voice, always trying to be heard over others. Despite the self-centered attitude and loud mouthed nature, Parrot people are mostly harmless, desperate to be acknowledged and seeking the attention that was failed to them in childhood. When Parrot appears it is an indication that there is a journey into the past required to heal the inner child.
The wombat is a totem of resourcefulness, stability and foundation. Wombats have long claws adapted for digging. They teach us how to dig beneath the surface to acquire the resources needed for change. Strong and heavily built, with short powerful legs and strong claws the wombat holds the teachings of stability and foundation. They stand their ground in most situations and are not easily intimidated. Industrious, determined and very smart they have a large brain and know how to use it. These traits are inherent in wombat medicine people yet not always used. Wombat asks you to wake up and use the gifts that are your birth right. Use your will constructively but don't be too pushy in your determination to achieve. Wombats are playful and will folic with what seems like endless energy. They are also quite fast moving when they need to be. Their small ears hear frequencies and sounds unknown to humans and their small eyes can see what lies between the spaces. This indicates that their psychic vision and psychic hearing are fully developed. Those with this totem often find themselves in situations where their psychic skills are tested, criticized, ignored or praised. They are reminded to honor their truth and not be intimidated by others.
The penguin signifies order, purpose and community. Penguins exude an air of properness and good manners, and are community coded where they will walk bolt upright forming several lines denoting a sense of order and purpose, determination and focus. Penguin people bear the same qualities and are bound to become great leaders within their group. Both male and female penguins bow to one another before entering or leaving the nest, and their human counterparts make fine partners and parents. The bow is a behavior demonstrated most often in pairs. Those with the Penguin totem are usually meticulous about their appearance and enjoy life styles related to high society. They are social and feel at ease in any type of situation. The Penguins message is to embrace and understand all realms of life, including the dreamtime (meditative) states. If the Penguin has appeared in your life prepare for a life altering course of mastery, fascination and transformation.

In the medicine wheel, the Echidna takes the place of an innocent child. Its disposition is friendly and loving; it is never the instigator of trouble. If it happens to be attacked by another animal, which rarely occurs, its spines will protect it. The teaching of the Echidna embraces faith and trust. Since faith is said to move mountains, this is a very significant power to have. This animal teaches us to be open, to discover new miracles every day, and to free ourselves from the serious routine world of adults. The Echidna has held on to a child-like sense of wonder and its trust in the divine plan where everything will turn out all right. Its friendliness and openness can unlock the hearts of others in order to share love and joy.
Etymology: The Old English gingiber, gingifer(e are directly < late Latin gingiber = the earlier zingiber(i, < Greek ζιγγίβερις, apparently < Prakrit siŋgabēra < Sanskrit çṛŋgavēra, which has the appearance of a compound of çṛŋga horn and vēra body, but is supposed by Yule to be an etymologizing perversion (suggested by the antler-like form of the root) of a Dravidian name, a prehistoric form of the Malayalam synonym inchi-ver ( < inchi root). The Middle English forms seem to be readoptions chiefly through Old French gimgibre, gingimbre (modern French gingembre) = Provençal gingibre, gingebre, Spanish gengibre, agengibre, Portuguese gengivre, Italian zenzevero, zenzero, gengero, gengiovo.
Other forms of this widely diffused word are Arabic zanjabīl (already in the Qur'an); Middle Dutch gengber (from Spanish or Portuguese) whence Dutch gember; also (with loss of the initial consonant as in German enzian from Latin gentiāna) Middle High German ingewer (German ingwer), Middle Low German engewer, Danish ingefær, Swedish ingefära.
1865 J. R. Lowell Lett. (1894) I. 348 There, by ginger! I meant to give the merest hint of a sentiment, and I have gone splash into a moral.
1. The rhizome of the tropical plant Zingiber officinale, remarkable for its hot spicy taste; used when dried and ground in cookery and as a medicine; also preserved in syrup or candied as a sweetmeat.
noun a camera mounted on an observation tower which registers the smoke and flames from a bushfire and triggers an alert, while also providing a record of activity in the area, as for identifying arsonists.
Yet Americo Castro, who coined the word convivencia to describe the life of the three faiths in the caliphate of Cordoba, wrote, in his book The Structure of Spanish History: "Each of the three peoples of the peninsula saw itself forced to live for eight centuries together with the other two at the same time as it passionately desired their extermination."
“The pukamani poles are of a quality not on show anywhere else in Australia or the world,”
“A set of ornately carved wooden funeral poles are the same style of those still used by the people of the Tiwi Islands for the pukamani ceremony, which is believed to send the soul into the spirit world to live on forever.”
ship-lap n. (a) a form of joint in carpentry made by halving (see quots. and halving n.1 2, and cf. half-lap at lap n.3 2b); (b) boards interlocked by rebates, used esp. for cladding.
1854 A. E. Baker Gloss. Northamptonshire Words, Ship-lap, a carpenter's term for a mode of uniting the end of one piece of wood to the side of another, at right angles, by a bevil-shaped bearing on the upper edge.

2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.
The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).

In the medicine wheel, the Echidna takes the place of an innocent child. Its disposition is friendly and loving; it is never the instigator of trouble. If it happens to be attacked by another animal, which rarely occurs, its spines will protect it. The teaching of the Echidna embraces faith and trust. Since faith is said to move mountains, this is a very significant power to have. This animal teaches us to be open, to discover new miracles every day, and to free ourselves from the serious routine world of adults. The Echidna has held on to a child-like sense of wonder and its trust in the divine plan where everything will turn out all right. Its friendliness and openness can unlock the hearts of others in order to share love and joy.

kalayzich commented on the list ginger--1
Etymology: The Old English gingiber, gingifer(e are directly < late Latin gingiber = the earlier zingiber(i, < Greek ζιγγίβερις, apparently < Prakrit siŋgabēra < Sanskrit çṛŋgavēra, which has the appearance of a compound of çṛŋga horn and vēra body, but is supposed by Yule to be an etymologizing perversion (suggested by the antler-like form of the root) of a Dravidian name, a prehistoric form of the Malayalam synonym inchi-ver ( < inchi root). The Middle English forms seem to be readoptions chiefly through Old French gimgibre, gingimbre (modern French gingembre) = Provençal gingibre, gingebre, Spanish gengibre, agengibre, Portuguese gengivre, Italian zenzevero, zenzero, gengero, gengiovo.
Other forms of this widely diffused word are Arabic zanjabīl (already in the Qur'an); Middle Dutch gengber (from Spanish or Portuguese) whence Dutch gember; also (with loss of the initial consonant as in German enzian from Latin gentiāna) Middle High German ingewer (German ingwer), Middle Low German engewer, Danish ingefær, Swedish ingefära.

2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.
The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).
