            to a liquid and solid form by intense pressure. It is
            produced in the fermentation of liquors, and by the

            becomes the common soda water of the shops, and the
            carbonated water of natural springs. Combined with lime it

From The Elements (22Oct97) [elements]:
   carbon
   Symbol: C
   Atomic number: 6
   Atomic weight: 12.01115
   Carbon is a member of group 14 of the periodic table. It has three
   allotropic forms of it, diamonds, graphite and fullerite. Carbon-14
   is commonly used in radioactive dating. Carbon occurs in all organic life
   and is the basis of organic chemistry. Carbon has the interesting chemical
   property of being able to bond with itself, and a wide variety of other
   elements.
  
  

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Carbuncle
      (Ex. 28:17; 39:10; Ezek. 28:13). Heb. barkath; LXX. smaragdos;
      Vulgate, smaragdus; Revised Version, marg., "emerald." The
      Hebrew word is from a root meaning "to glitter," "lighten,"
      "flash." When held up to the sun, this gem shines like a burning
      coal, a dark-red glowing coal, and hence is called
      "carbunculus", i.e., a little coal. It was one of the jewels in
      the first row of the high priest's breastplate. It has been
      conjectured by some that the garnet is meant. In Isa. 54:12 the
      Hebrew word is _'ekdah_, used in the prophetic description of
      the glory and beauty of the mansions above. Next to the diamond
      it is the hardest and most costly of all precious stones.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Carpenter
      an artificer in stone, iron, and copper, as well as in wood (2
      Sam. 5:11; 1 Chr. 14:1; Mark 6:3). The tools used by carpenters
      are mentioned in 1 Sam. 13:19, 20; Judg. 4:21; Isa. 10:15;
      44:13. It was said of our Lord, "Is not this the carpenter's
      son?" (Matt. 13:55); also, "Is not this the carpenter?" (Mark
      6:3). Every Jew, even the rabbis, learned some handicraft: Paul
      was a tentmaker. "In the cities the carpenters would be Greeks,
      and skilled workmen; the carpenter of a provincial village could
      only have held a very humble position, and secured a very
      moderate competence."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Corban
      a Hebrew word adopted into the Greek of the New Testament and
      left untranslated. It occurs only once (Mark 7:11). It means a
      gift or offering consecrated to God. Anything over which this
      word was once pronounced was irrevocably dedicated to the
      temple. Land, however, so dedicated might be redeemed before the
      year of jubilee (Lev. 27:16-24). Our Lord condemns the Pharisees
      for their false doctrine, inasmuch as by their traditions they
      had destroyed the commandment which requires children to honour
      their father and mother, teaching them to find excuse from
      helping their parents by the device of pronouncing "Corban" over
      their goods, thus reserving them to their own selfish use.
