Definitions needing clarification[edit]

  • Like a rock; as, the rocky orb of a shield.

I know this is Webster's, but it needs clarification IMO. I don't know enough about these outdated and historic articles to understand why or in what way an orb would resemble a rock. Might as well make it a Ford truck. Davilla 21:07, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
