From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Cucumiform \Cu*cu"mi*form\ (k?-k?"m?-f?rm), a. [L. cucumis
      cucumber + -form.]
      Having the form of a cucumber; having the form of a cylinder
      tapered and rounded at the ends, and either straight or
      curved.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Swan \Swan\, n. [AS. swan; akin to D. zwaan, OHG. swan, G.
      schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and perhaps to E.
      sound something audible.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic
            birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of
            the subfamily {Cygnin[91]}. They have a large and strong
            beak and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful
            movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are
            white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a
            melodious song, especially at the time of its death.
  
      Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),
               which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in
               an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans
               of the genus {Olor} do not bend the neck in an S-shaped
               curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,
               due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this
               genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan
               ({Olor cygnus}), the American whistling swan ({O.
               Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.
               buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis
               atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has
               the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a
               very graceful species and is often domesticated. The
               South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides
               melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful
               species, entirely white, except the head and neck,
               which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a
               double bright rose-colored knob.
  
      2. Fig.: An appellation for a sweet singer, or a poet noted
            for grace and melody; as Shakespeare is called the swan of
            Avon.
  
      3. (Astron.) The constellation Cygnus.
  
      {Swan goose} (Zo[94]l.), a bird of India ({Cygnopsis
            cygnoides}) resembling both the swan and the goose.
  
      {Swan shot}, a large size of shot used in fowling.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cucumbers
      (Heb. plur. kishshuim; i.e., "hard," "difficult" of digestion,
      only in Num. 11:5). This vegetable is extensively cultivated in
      the East at the present day, as it appears to have been in
      earlier times among the Hebrews. It belongs to the gourd family
      of plants. In the East its cooling pulp and juice are most
      refreshing. "We need not altogether wonder that the Israelites,
      wearily marching through the arid solitudes of the Sinaitic
      peninsula, thought more of the cucumbers and watermelons of
      which they had had no lack in Egypt, rather than of the cruel
      bondage which was the price of these luxuries." Groser's
      Scripture Natural History.
     
         Isaiah speaks of a "lodge" (1:8; Heb. sukkah), i.e., a shed or
      edifice more solid than a booth, for the protection throughout
      the season from spring to autumn of the watchers in a "garden of
      cucumbers."
