The sudden failure of walls or pillars in a mine caused by the weight or pressure of the surrounding rocks, and accompanied by a violent release of energy.  7, record 1, English, - rock%20burst

Rock bursts. In areas of very deep mining, as additional weight is supported by the pillars on the coal face, stresses may so build up that the yield point is reached. If the coal pillars, the roof, or the floor are able to yield gradually, the effects of the stresses are relieved by floor heaving, or by pillar or roof failure. Where the coal or the associated rocks are particularly strong and depths are much above average, these stresses may be relieved by rock bursts, which are relatively violent outbursts of the coal into the rooms and entries. Frequently, a large volume of gas (usually methane) is suddenly released during a rock burst in a coal mine.  8, record 1, English, - rock%20burst

for "coal burst" : Rock bursts and "coal bursts" in coal mines are generally designated by the term "bumps" or "bounces". A large proportion of these "bumps" or "bounces" are actually "coal bursts" due to fracturing of pillars and remnants and need not involve any fracturing of roof or floor rock.  4, record 1, English, - rock%20burst

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS

for "air blast" : In former years rock bursts were sometimes referred to as "air blasts". This name originated from the fact that large quantities of rock loosened by some of the larger rock bursts displaced quantities of air, with the result that a blast of air passed through the mine workings.  4, record 1, English, - rock%20burst

Counting coup was a relatively harmless act of bravery and war honor of the highest grade. Any blow struck against the enemy counted as a coup, but the most prestigious acts included touching an enemy warrior, with the hand or with a coup stick. The term is of French origin from the noun coup (pronounced /ku/) which means a hit, a blow or a strike. The expression can be seen as referring to "counting strikes". Coups were recorded by notches in the coup stick, or by feathers in the headdress of a warrior who was rewarded with them for an act of bravery.  1, record 4, English, - coup%20stick

Marquer un "coup" consistait pour un guerrier à toucher son adversaire encore armé et dangereux avec la main, ou le bois de l'arc, ou avec un bâton spécial appelé "bâton à coup"("coupstick", en anglais). C'était, avec le fait de sauver un compagnon lors d’un combat, l'exploit le plus valorisé pour les Indiens des Plaines. Il arrivait souvent que plusieurs guerriers "comptent un coup" sur un même ennemi avant qu'il ne soit tué. Dans les guerres que se livraient les Indiens des Plaines, le courage montré, la prise de risque personnel étaient les valeurs suprêmes, beaucoup plus que le nombre d’ennemis tués ou de scalps pris.  1, record 4, French, - b%C3%A2ton%20%C3%A0%20coup
