Un avataq est un flotteur servant à la chasse traditionnelle fait d'une seule peau de phoque. Toutes les parties d'un avataq ont un nom particulier en inuttitut. L'avataq est fermé par des bouchons de bois aux extrémités. Si la peau a des trous, on peut boucher ces trous avec de petits bouchons en ivoire faits sur mesure que l'on appelle «uaqtaq». L'avataq est relié au harpon et à la pointe du harpon par une corde faite également en peau de phoque. 2, record 2, French, - avataq

The francisca is characterised by its distinctly arch-shaped head, widening toward the cutting edge and terminating in a prominent point at both the upper and lower corners. The top of the head is usually either S-shaped or convex with the lower portion curving inward and forming an elbow with the short wooden haft. The upswept point and downturned edge were both capable of penetrating chain mail. 3, record 3, English, - francisca

Les preuves archéologiques indiquent que les élites guerrières franques utilisaient communément la francisque [...] Les soldats l'auraient lancée d'une distance d'environ dix à douze mètres. La lame de la hache était lourde afin de produire un impact important sur la cible, mais puisque l'arme n'était pas équilibrée comme peut l'être un javelot, la francisque n'avait pas une trajectoire très régulière, réduisant la portée et la précision. La francisque se reconnaît à la courbure en forme de S caractéristique du sommet du fer, le bord inférieur de la lame s'incurvant vers l'intérieur puis formant un coude avec le manche. Le centre du fer forme un angle d'environ 90 à 115° avec le manche. La plupart des francisques ont un œil rond ou en goutte d'eau pour le passage d'un manche conique [...] La plupart des lames de francisque mesurent entre onze et vingt-deux centimètres de long et pèsent entre 200 et 1 300 g. 2, record 3, French, - francisque

The hammer handle should always be tight in the head... The eye or hole in the hammer head is made with a slight taper in both directions from the center. After the handle, which is tapered to fit the eye, is inserted, in the head, a steel or wooden wedge is driven into the end of the handle that is inserted into the head. This wedge expands the handle and causes it to fill the opposite taper in the eye. Thus the handle is wedged in both directions... 4, record 4, English, - wedge

Le bois n° 1 est utilisé pour les coups de départ à très longue portée, habituellement depuis un tertre de départ. Un golfeur peut également s'en servir sur l'allée de trous à normale 4 ou 5 pour faire couvrir à la balle une distance supérieure à celle qu'il atteint avec ce bâton. Son utilisation exige du golfeur un parfait synchronisme dans l'exécution du mouvement ascendant, du mouvement descendant et du dégagé ou prolonger, parce qu'il lui faut frapper la balle avec le plus de force possible pour qu'elle couvre la distance voulue. 8, record 5, French, - bois%20n%C2%B0%201

CANADA. L'Office de la langue française a déjà préconisé l'usage de «décocheur» pour faire pendant à «driver».

... the nailing of wooden shingles and slates are entirely different. The heads of slating nails should just touch the slate and should not be driven "home" or draw the slate, but left with the heads just clearing the slate hangs on the nail. The opposite is true of wooden shingles and a man used to laying this material will invariably handle slate in the same way. As a consequence the slate, held too rigidly in place, is shattered around the nail hole, or the head of the nail crushed and eventually the slate may "ride" up over the nail and be blown off in a heavy wind... The temptation to use shingle nails instead of slating nails should be discouraged, for the slight saving in cost on the entire roof cannot approach the cost of repairs which may develop as a result of this practice. 2, record 11, English, - slate%20nail
