Cf. {Eat}, {Dandelion}, {Dent} the tooth of a wheel, {Dental}, {Dentist}, {Indent}, {Tine} of a fork, {Tusk}. ] 1. (Anat.) One of the hard, bony appendages which are borne on the jaws, or on other bones in the walls of the mouth or pharynx of most vertebrates, and which usually aid in the prehension and mastication of food. Note: The hard parts of teeth are principally made up of dentine, or ivory, and a very hard substance called enamel. These are variously combined in different animals. Each tooth consist of three parts, a crown, or body, projecting above the gum, one or more fangs imbedded in the jaw, and the neck, or intermediate part. In some animals one or more of the teeth are modified into tusks which project from the mouth, as in both sexes of the elephant and of the walrus, and in the male narwhal. In adult man there are thirty-two teeth, composed largely of dentine, but the crowns are covered with enamel, and the fangs with a layer of bone called cementum. Of the eight teeth on each half of each jaw, the two in front are incisors, then come one canine, cuspid, or dog tooth, two bicuspids, or false molars, and three molars, or grinding teeth. The milk, or temporary, teeth are only twenty in number, there being two incisors, one canine, and two molars on each half of each jaw. The last molars, or wisdom teeth, usually appear long after the others, and occasionally do not appear above the jaw at all. How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child ! --Shak. 2. Fig.: Taste; palate. These are not dishes for thy dainty tooth. --Dryden. 3. Any projection corresponding to the tooth of an animal, in shape, position, or office; as, the teeth, or cogs, of a cogwheel; a tooth, prong, or tine, of a fork; a tooth, or the teeth, of a rake, a saw, a file, a card. 4. (a) A projecting member resembling a tenon, but fitting into a mortise that is only sunk, not pierced through. (b) One of several steps, or offsets, in a tusk. See {Tusk}. | |

The early fame of Gratian was equal to that of the most celebrated princes. --Gibbon. Note: That may refer to an entire sentence or paragraph, and not merely to a word.

And when Moses heard that, he was content. --Lev. x. 20. I will know your business, Harry, that I will. --Shak. Note: That is often used in opposition to this, or by way of distinction, and in such cases this, like the Latin hic and French ceci, generally refers to that which is nearer, and that, like Latin ille and French cela, to that which is more remote. When they refer to foreign words or phrases, this generally refers to the latter, and that to the former. Two principles in human nature reign; Self-love, to urge, and Reason, to restrain; Nor this a good, nor that a bad we call. --Pope. If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this or that. --James iv. 16. 2. As an adjective, that has the same demonstrative force as the pronoun, but is followed by a noun. It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city. --Matt. x. 15. The woman was made whole from that hour. --Matt. ix. 22.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame. --Prov. ix. 7. A judgment that is equal and impartial must incline to the greater probabilities. --Bp. Wilkins. | |

Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[c6]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[c6]d, D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[c6]t, Icel. t[c6][?], Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a- is a negative prefix. [fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till}, prep., {Time}.] 1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's tide.[b8] --Chaucer. And rest their weary limbs a tide. --Spenser. Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his bride. --Spenser. At the tide of Christ his birth. --Fuller. 2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of the latter being three times that of the former), acting unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth, thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon, their action is such as to produce a greater than the usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter, the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller tide than usual, called the {neap tide}. Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide, and the reflux, ebb tide. 3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll provide.[b8] --Shak. 4. Tendency or direction of causes, influences, or events; course; current. There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. --Shak. 5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon. 6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours. {Atmospheric tides}, tidal movements of the atmosphere similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon. {Inferior tide}. See under {Inferior}, a. {To work double tides}. See under {Work}, v. t. {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the tide}, under 2d {Lag}. {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any time. {Tide gate}. (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when the tide sets in one direction, but which closes automatically and prevents the water from flowing in the other direction. (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great velocity, as through a gate. {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide; especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C. {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}. {Tide mill}. (a) A mill operated by the tidal currents. (b) A mill for clearing lands from tide water. {Tide rip}, a body of water made rough by the conflict of opposing tides or currents. {Tide table}, a table giving the time of the rise and fall of the tide at any place. {Tide water}, water affected by the flow of the tide; hence, broadly, the seaboard. {Tide wave}, [or] {Tidal wave}, the swell of water as the tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of bays or channels derivative. --Whewell. {Tide wheel}, a water wheel so constructed as to be moved by the ebb or flow of the tide. | |

T \T\ (t[emac]), the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, is a nonvocal consonant. With the letter h it forms the digraph th, which has two distinct sounds, as in thin, then.

To \To\ ([?], emphatic or alone, [?], obscure or unemphatic), prep. [AS. t[d3]; akin to OS. & OFries. t[d3], D. toe, G. zu, OHG. zuo, zua, z[d3], Russ. do, Ir. & Gael. do, OL. -do, -du, as in endo, indu, in, Gr. [?], as in [?] homeward. [fb]200. Cf. {Too}, {Tatoo} a beat of drums.] 1. The preposition to primarily indicates approach and arrival, motion made in the direction of a place or thing and attaining it, access; and also, motion or tendency without arrival; movement toward; -- opposed to {from}. [bd]To Canterbury they wend.[b8] --Chaucer. Stay with us, go not to Wittenberg. --Shak. So to the sylvan lodge They came, that like Pomona's arbor smiled. --Milton. I'll to him again, . . . He'll tell me all his purpose. She stretched her arms to heaven. --Dryden. 2. Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of being regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or action; as, he is going to a trade; he is rising to wealth and honor. Note: Formerly, by omission of the verb denoting motion, to sometimes followed a form of be, with the sense of at, or in. [bd]When the sun was [gone or declined] to rest.[b8] --Chaucer. 3. In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of application, to connects transitive verbs with their remoter or indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and neuter or passive verbs with a following noun which limits their action. Its sphere verges upon that of for, but it contains less the idea of design or appropriation; as, these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us keep this seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the taste; an event painful to the mind; duty to God and to our parents; a dislike to spirituous liquor. Marks and points out each man of us to slaughter. --B. Jonson. Whilst they, distilled Almost to jelly with the act of fear, Stand dumb and speak not to him. --Shak. Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. --2 Pet. i. 5,6,7. I have a king's oath to the contrary. --Shak. Numbers were crowded to death. --Clarendon. Fate and the dooming gods are deaf to tears. --Dryden. Go, buckle to the law. --Dryden. 4. As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of last defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun, and connecting it as indirect object with a preceding verb or adjective; thus, ready to go, i.e., ready unto going; good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my utmost to lead my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations where it has no prepositional meaning, as where the infinitive is direct object or subject; thus, I love to learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's country is noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage formerly allowed the prefixing of for to the to; as, what went ye out for see? (--Matt. xi. 8). Then longen folk to go on pilgrimages, And palmers for to seeken strange stranders. --Chaucer. Note: Such usage is now obsolete or illiterate. In colloquial usage, to often stands for, and supplies, an infinitive already mentioned; thus, he commands me to go with him, but I do not wish to. 5. In many phrases, and in connection with many other words, to has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically. Thus, it denotes or implies: (a) Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as far as; as, they met us to the number of three hundred. We ready are to try our fortunes To the last man. --Shak. Few of the Esquimaux can count to ten. --Quant. Rev. (b) Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered to his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent factions exist to the prejudice of the state. (c) Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as, they engaged hand to hand. Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face. --1 Cor. xiii. 12. (d) Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste; she has a husband to her mind. He to God's image, she to his was made. --Dryden. (e) Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to twenty-seven; it is ten to one that you will offend him. All that they did was piety to this. --B. Jonson. (f) Addition; union; accumulation. Wisdom he has, and to his wisdom, courage. --Denham. (g) Accompaniment; as, she sang to his guitar; they danced to the music of a piano. Anon they move In perfect phalanx to the Dorian mood Of flutes and soft recorders. --Milton. (h) Character; condition of being; purpose subserved or office filled. [In this sense archaic] [bd]I have a king here to my flatterer.[b8] --Shak. Made his masters and others . . . to consider him to a little wonder. --Walton. Note: To in to-day, to-night, and to-morrow has the sense or force of for or on; for, or on, (this) day, for, or on, (this) night, for, or on, (the) morrow. To-day, to-night, to-morrow may be considered as compounds, and usually as adverbs; but they are sometimes used as nouns; as, to-day is ours. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow; Creeps in this petty pace from day to day. --Shak. {To and again}, to and fro. [R.] {To and fro}, forward and back. In this phrase, to is adverbial. There was great showing both to and fro. --Chaucer. {To-and-fro}, a pacing backward and forward; as, to commence a to-and-fro. --Tennyson. {To the face}, in front of; in behind; hence, in the presence of. {To wit}, to know; namely. See {Wit}, v. i. Note: To, without an object expressed, is used adverbially; as, put to the door, i. e., put the door to its frame, close it; and in the nautical expressions, to heave to, to come to, meaning to a certain position. To, like on, is sometimes used as a command, forward, set to. [bd]To, Achilles! to, Ajax! to![b8] --Shak. | |

Toad \Toad\, n. [OE. tode, tade, AS. t[be]die, t[be]dige; of unknown origin. Cf. {Tadpole}.] (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of batrachians belonging to the genus {Bufo} and allied genera, especially those of the family {Bufonid[91]}. Toads are generally terrestrial in their habits except during the breeding season, when they seek the water. Most of the species burrow beneath the earth in the daytime and come forth to feed on insects at night. Most toads have a rough, warty skin in which are glands that secrete an acrid fluid. Note: The common toad ({Bufo vulgaris}) and the natterjack are familiar European species. The common American toad ({B. lentiginosus}) is similar to the European toad, but is less warty and is more active, moving chiefly by leaping. {Obstetrical toad}. (Zo[94]l.)

'odoy`s, 'odo`ntos, Skr. danta; probably originally the p. pr. of the verb to eat. [fb]239. Cf. {Eat}, {Dandelion}, {Dent} the tooth of a wheel, {Dental}, {Dentist}, {Indent}, {Tine} of a fork, {Tusk}. ] 1. (Anat.) One of the hard, bony appendages which are borne on the jaws, or on other bones in the walls of the mouth or pharynx of most vertebrates, and which usually aid in the prehension and mastication of food. Note: The hard parts of teeth are principally made up of dentine, or ivory, and a very hard substance called enamel. These are variously combined in different animals. Each tooth consist of three parts, a crown, or body, projecting above the gum, one or more fangs imbedded in the jaw, and the neck, or intermediate part. In some animals one or more of the teeth are modified into tusks which project from the mouth, as in both sexes of the elephant and of the walrus, and in the male narwhal. In adult man there are thirty-two teeth, composed largely of dentine, but the crowns are covered with enamel, and the fangs with a layer of bone called cementum. Of the eight teeth on each half of each jaw, the two in front are incisors, then come one canine, cuspid, or dog tooth, two bicuspids, or false molars, and three molars, or grinding teeth. The milk, or temporary, teeth are only twenty in number, there being two incisors, one canine, and two molars on each half of each jaw. The last molars, or wisdom teeth, usually appear long after the others, and occasionally do not appear above the jaw at all. How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child ! --Shak. 2. Fig.: Taste; palate. These are not dishes for thy dainty tooth. --Dryden. 3. Any projection corresponding to the tooth of an animal, in shape, position, or office; as, the teeth, or cogs, of a cogwheel; a tooth, prong, or tine, of a fork; a tooth, or the teeth, of a rake, a saw, a file, a card. 4. (a) A projecting member resembling a tenon, but fitting into a mortise that is only sunk, not pierced through. (b) One of several steps, or offsets, in a tusk. See {Tusk}. | |

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: | |
Tithe a tenth of the produce of the earth consecrated and set apart for special purposes. The dedication of a tenth to God was recognized as a duty before the time of Moses. Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek (Gen. 14:20; Heb. 7:6); and Jacob vowed unto the Lord and said, "Of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee." The first Mosaic law on this subject is recorded in Lev. 27:30-32. Subsequent legislation regulated the destination of the tithes (Num. 18:21-24, 26-28; Deut. 12:5, 6, 11, 17; 14:22, 23). The paying of the tithes was an important part of the Jewish religious worship. In the days of Hezekiah one of the first results of the reformation of religion was the eagerness with which the people brought in their tithes (2 Chr. 31:5, 6). The neglect of this duty was sternly rebuked by the prophets (Amos 4:4; Mal. 3:8-10). It cannot be affirmed that the Old Testament law of tithes is binding on the Christian Church, nevertheless the principle of this law remains, and is incorporated in the gospel (1 Cor. 9:13, 14); and if, as is the case, the motive that ought to prompt to liberality in the cause of religion and of the service of God be greater now than in Old Testament times, then Christians outght to go beyond the ancient Hebrew in consecrating both themselves and their substance to God. Every Jew was required by the Levitical law to pay three tithes of his property (1) one tithe for the Levites; (2) one for the use of the temple and the great feasts; and (3) one for the poor of the land. | |

Tooth one of the particulars regarding which retaliatory punishment was to be inflicted (Ex. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21). "Gnashing of teeth" =rage, despair (Matt. 8:12; Acts 7:54); "cleanness of teeth" =famine (Amos 4:6); "children's teeth set on edge" =children suffering for the sins of their fathers (Ezek. 18:2). | |
