WORD OF THE DAY...
This first word is a little strange.... NOT the same as "dealing with adversity" or "cutting materials in a shape similar to a talon or beak". Instead this one speaks to a period of time when things were much less modern.
cope = Noun: (Ecclesiastical) A vestment or cloak worn by priests or bishops; A large mantle of (usually) silk, reaching from the shoulders to the feet, open in front, held with a band or clasp at the top. Noun: (Architectural) A bend over the top, as an arch or a vault. Anything spread or extended overhead, an arch or concavity in the roof or over a door.
Etymology: Latin capa (cape); Medieval Latin cåpa (cloak); Late Latin cappa.
From The Bad Weather Friend by Dean Koontz
pule = Noun: A soft or melancholy whine or crying sound of dissatisfaction. A peep or cheep made by a chick. A soft querulous sound by a complaining child. Verb: The act of making a soft, querulous sound. To whimper or to whine.
Etymology: Imitative origin. Poss. fr. French piauler.
