      eik, G. eiche, OHG. eih, Icel. eik, Sw. ek, Dan. eeg.]
      1. (Bot.) Any tree or shrub of the genus {Quercus}. The oaks
            have alternate leaves, often variously lobed, and

            scaly involucre called the cup or cupule. There are now
            recognized about three hundred species, of which nearly
            fifty occur in the United States, the rest in Europe,
            Asia, and the other parts of North America, a very few
            barely reaching the northern parts of South America and
            Africa. Many of the oaks form forest trees of grand

            rays, forming the silver grain.

                  individual. Each relates to two or more individuals of
                  a class. It refers definitely to every one of them,

                  one, all being included; as, each soldier was
                  receiving a dollar per day. Every relates to more than
                  two and brings into greater prominence the notion that
                  not one of all considered is excepted; as, every
                  soldier was on service, except the cavalry, that is,
                  all the soldiers, etc.
