Cirro-cumulus \Cir`ro-cu"mu*lus\, n. [Cirrus + cumulus.]       (Meteor.)       See under {Cloud}.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Cloud \Cloud\ (kloud), n. [Prob. fr. AS. cl[umac]d a rock or       hillock, the application arising from the frequent       resemblance of clouds to rocks or hillocks in the sky or       air.]       1. A collection of visible vapor, or watery particles,             suspended in the upper atmosphere.                         I do set my bow in the cloud.            --Gen. ix. 13.          Note: A classification of clouds according to their chief                forms was first proposed by the meteorologist Howard,                and this is still substantially employed. The following                varieties and subvarieties are recognized:             (a) {Cirrus}. This is the most elevated of all the forms                   of clouds; is thin, long-drawn, sometimes looking like                   carded wool or hair, sometimes like a brush or room,                   sometimes in curl-like or fleecelike patches. It is                   the cat's-tail of the sailor, and the mare's-tail of                   the landsman.             (b) {Cumulus}. This form appears in large masses of a                   hemispherical form, or nearly so, above, but flat                   below, one often piled above another, forming great                   clouds, common in the summer, and presenting the                   appearance of gigantic mountains crowned with snow. It                   often affords rain and thunder gusts.             (c) {Stratus}. This form appears in layers or bands                   extending horizontally.             (d) {Nimbus}. This form is characterized by its uniform                   gray tint and ragged edges; it covers the sky in                   seasons of continued rain, as in easterly storms, and                   is the proper rain cloud. The name is sometimes used                   to denote a raining cumulus, or cumulostratus.             (e) {Cirro-cumulus}. This form consists, like the cirrus,                   of thin, broken, fleecelice clouds, but the parts are                   more or less rounded and regulary grouped. It is                   popularly called mackerel sky.             (f) {Cirro-stratus}. In this form the patches of cirrus                   coalesce in long strata, between cirrus and stratus.             (g) {Cumulo-stratus}. A form between cumulus and stratus,                   often assuming at the horizon a black or bluish tint.                   -- {Fog}, cloud, motionless, or nearly so, lying near                   or in contact with the earth's surface. -- {Storm                   scud}, cloud lying quite low, without form, and driven                   rapidly with the wind.          2. A mass or volume of smoke, or flying dust, resembling             vapor. [bd]A thick cloud of incense.[b8] --Ezek. viii. 11.          3. A dark vein or spot on a lighter material, as in marble;             hence, a blemish or defect; as, a cloud upon one's             reputation; a cloud on a title.          4. That which has a dark, lowering, or threatening aspect;             that which temporarily overshadows, obscures, or             depresses; as, a cloud of sorrow; a cloud of war; a cloud             upon the intellect.          5. A great crowd or multitude; a vast collection. [bd]So             great a cloud of witnesses.[b8] --Heb. xii. 1.          6. A large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the             head.          {Cloud on a} (or the) {title} (Law), a defect of title,             usually superficial and capable of removal by release,             decision in equity, or legislation.          {To be under a cloud}, to be under suspicion or in disgrace;             to be in disfavor.          {In the clouds}, in the realm of facy and imagination; beyond             reason; visionary.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Coerce \Co*erce"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Coerced}; p. pr. & vb.       n. {Coercing}.] [L. co[89]rcere; co- + arcere to shut up, to       press together. See {Ark}.]       1. To restrain by force, especially by law or authority; to             repress; to curb. --Burke.                         Punishments are manifold, that they may coerce this                      profligate sort.                                 --Ayliffe.          2. To compel or constrain to any action; as, to coerce a man             to vote for a certain candidate.          3. To compel or enforce; as, to coerce obedience.          Syn: To {Coerce}, {Compel}.          Usage: To compel denotes to urge on by force which cannot be                   resisted. The term aplies equally to physical and                   moral force; as, compelled by hunger; compelled                   adverse circumstances; compelled by parental                   affection. Coerce had at first only the negative sense                   of checking or restraining by force; as, to coerce a                   bad man by punishments or a prisoner with fetters. It                   has now gained a positive sense., viz., that of                   driving a person into the performance of some act                   which is required of him by another; as, to coerce a                   man to sign a contract; to coerce obedience. In this                   sense (which is now the prevailing one), coerce                   differs but little from compel, and yet there is a                   distinction between them. Coercion is usually                   acomplished by indirect means, as threats and                   intimidation, physical force being more rarely                   employed in coercing.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Coercion \Co*er"cion\, n. [L. coercio, fr. coercere. See       {Coerce}.]       1. The act or process of coercing.          2. (Law) The application to another of either physical or             moral force. When the force is physical, and cannot be             resisted, then the act produced by it is a nullity, so far             as concerns the party coerced. When the force is moral,             then the act, though voidable, is imputable to the party             doing it, unless he be so paralyzed by terror as to act             convulsively. At the same time coercion is not negatived             by the fact of submission under force. [bd]Coactus             volui[b8] (I consented under compulsion) is the condition             of mind which, when there is volition forced by coercion,             annuls the result of such coercion. --Wharton.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Carchemish       fortress of Chemosh, a city on the west bank of the Euphrates       (Jer. 46:2; 2 Chr. 35:20), not, as was once supposed, the       Circesium at the confluence of the Chebar and the Euphrates, but       a city considerably higher up the river, and commanding the       ordinary passage of the Euphrates; probably identical with       Hierapolis. It was the capital of the kingdom of the northern       Hittites. The Babylonian army, under Nebuchadnezzar, the son of       Nabopolassar, here met and conquered the army of Pharaoh-necho,       king of Egypt (B.C. 607). It is mentioned in monuments in B.C.       1600 and down to B.C. 717.

Charashim       craftsmen, a valley named in 1 Chr. 4:14. In Neh. 11:35 the       Hebrew word is rendered "valley of craftsmen" (R.V. marg.,       Geha-rashim). Nothing is known of it.

Chor-ashan       smoking furnace, one of the places where "David himself and his       men were wont to haunt" (1 Sam. 30:30, 31). It is probably       identical with Ashan (Josh. 15:42; 19:7), a Simeonite city in       the Negeb, i.e., the south, belonging to Judah. The word ought,       according to another reading, to be "Bor-ashan."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Chorazin       named along with Bethsaida and Capernaum as one of the cities in       which our Lord's "mighty works" were done, and which was doomed       to woe because of signal privileges neglected (Matt. 11:21; Luke       10:13). It has been identified by general consent with the       modern Kerazeh, about 2 1/2 miles up the Wady Kerazeh from       Capernaum; i.e., Tell Hum.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Circumcision       cutting around. This rite, practised before, as some think, by       divers races, was appointed by God to be the special badge of       his chosen people, an abiding sign of their consecration to him.       It was established as a national ordinance (Gen. 17:10, 11). In       compliance with the divine command, Abraham, though ninety-nine       years of age, was circumcised on the same day with Ishmael, who       was thirteen years old (17:24-27). Slaves, whether home-born or       purchased, were circumcised (17:12, 13); and all foreigners must       have their males circumcised before they could enjoy the       privileges of Jewish citizenship (Ex. 12:48). During the journey       through the wilderness, the practice of circumcision fell into       disuse, but was resumed by the command of Joshua before they       entered the Promised Land (Josh. 5:2-9). It was observed always       afterwards among the tribes of israel, although it is not       expressly mentioned from the time of the settlement in Canaan       till the time of Christ, about 1,450 years. The Jews prided       themselves in the possession of this covenant distinction (Judg.       14:3; 15:18; 1 Sam. 14:6; 17:26; 2 Sam. 1:20; Ezek. 31:18).                As a rite of the church it ceased when the New Testament times       began (Gal. 6:15; Col. 3:11). Some Jewish Christians sought to       impose it, however, on the Gentile converts; but this the       apostles resolutely resisted (Acts 15:1; Gal. 6:12). Our Lord       was circumcised, for it "became him to fulfil all       righteousness," as of the seed of Abraham, according to the       flesh; and Paul "took and circumcised" Timothy (Acts 16:3), to       avoid giving offence to the Jews. It would render Timothy's       labours more acceptable to the Jews. But Paul would by no means       consent to the demand that Titus should be circumcised (Gal.       2:3-5). The great point for which he contended was the free       admission of uncircumcised Gentiles into the church. He       contended successfully in behalf of Titus, even in Jerusalem.                In the Old Testament a spiritual idea is attached to       circumcision. It was the symbol of purity (Isa. 52:1). We read       of uncircumcised lips (Ex. 6:12, 30), ears (Jer. 6:10), hearts       (Lev. 26:41). The fruit of a tree that is unclean is spoken of       as uncircumcised (Lev. 19:23).                It was a sign and seal of the covenant of grace as well as of       the national covenant between God and the Hebrews. (1.) It       sealed the promises made to Abraham, which related to the       commonwealth of Israel, national promises. (2.) But the promises       made to Abraham included the promise of redemption (Gal. 3:14),       a promise which has come upon us. The covenant with Abraham was       a dispensation or a specific form of the covenant of grace, and       circumcision was a sign and seal of that covenant. It had a       spiritual meaning. It signified purification of the heart,       inward circumcision effected by the Spirit (Deut. 10:16; 30:6;       Ezek. 44:7; Acts 7:51; Rom. 2:28; Col. 2:11). Circumcision as a       symbol shadowing forth sanctification by the Holy Spirit has now       given way to the symbol of baptism (q.v.). But the truth       embodied in both ordinances is ever the same, the removal of       sin, the sanctifying effects of grace in the heart.                Under the Jewish dispensation, church and state were       identical. No one could be a member of the one without also       being a member of the other. Circumcision was a sign and seal of       membership in both. Every circumcised person bore thereby       evidence that he was one of the chosen people, a member of the       church of God as it then existed, and consequently also a member       of the Jewish commonwealth.
