Ibis \I"bis\, n. [L. ibis, Gr. [?]; of Egyptian origin.]       (Zo[94]l.)       Any bird of the genus {Ibis} and several allied genera, of       the family {Ibid[91]}, inhabiting both the Old World and the       New. Numerous species are known. They are large, wading       birds, having a long, curved beak, and feed largely on       reptiles.          Note: The sacred ibis of the ancient Egyptians ({Ibis                [92]thiopica}) has the head and neck black, without                feathers. The plumage of the body and wings is white,                except the tertiaries, which are lengthened and form a                dark purple plume. In ancient times this bird was                extensively domesticated in Egypt, but it is now seldom                seen so far north. The glossy ibis ({Plegadis                autumnalis}), which is widely distributed both in the                Old World and the New, has the head and neck feathered,                except between the eyes and bill; the scarlet ibis                ({Guara rubra}) and the white ibis ({G. alba}) inhabit                the West Indies and South America, and are rarely found                in the United States. The wood ibis ({Tantalus                loculator}) of America belongs to the Stork family                ({Ciconid[91]}). See {Wood ibis}.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
glob /glob/, _not_ /glohb/ v.,n.   [Unix; common] To expand    special characters in a wildcarded name, or the act of so doing (the    action is also called `globbing').   The Unix conventions for    filename wildcarding have become sufficiently pervasive that many    hackers use some of them in written English, especially in email or    news on technical topics.   Those commonly encountered include the    following:       *             wildcard for any string (see also {UN*X})       ?             wildcard for any single character (generally read this way             only at the beginning or in the middle of a word)       []             delimits a wildcard matching any of the enclosed characters       {}             alternation of comma-separated alternatives; thus,             `foo{baz,qux}' would be read as `foobaz' or `fooqux'       Some examples: "He said his name was [KC]arl" (expresses ambiguity).    "I don't read talk.politics.*" (any of the talk.politics subgroups    on {Usenet}).   Other examples are given under the entry for {X}.    Note that glob patterns are similar, but not identical, to those    used in {regexp}s.          Historical note: The jargon usage derives from `glob', the name    of a subprogram that expanded wildcards in archaic pre-Bourne    versions of the Unix shell.

GLB          {greatest lower bound}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
glob          /glob/, *not* /glohb/ To expand {wild card} characters in a       {path name}.          In {Unix} the {file name} wild cards are:             * = zero or more characters (E.g. {UN*X})             ? = any single character             [] any of the enclosed characters             {} indicate alternation of comma-separated alternatives, thus          foo{baz,qux} would expand to "foobaz" or "fooqux".   This          syntax generates a list of all possible expansions, rather          than matching one.          These have become sufficiently pervasive that hackers use them       in written English, especially in {electronic mail} or       {Usenet} news on technical topics.   E.g. "He said his name was       [KC]arl" (expresses ambiguity).   "I don't read       talk.politics.*" (any of the talk.politics subgroups on       {Usenet}).   Other examples are given under the entry for {X}.       Note that glob patterns are similar, but not identical, to       those used in {regexps}.          "glob" was a subprogram that expanded wild cards in archaic       pre-{Bourne} versions of the {Unix} {shell}.          (1997-07-16)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
glyph          An {image} used in the visual representation of       {characters}; roughly speaking, how a character looks.   A       {font} is a set of glyphs.          In the simple case, for a given {font} ({typeface} and size),       each character corresponds to a single glyph but this is not       always the case, especially in a language with a large       alphabet where one character may correspond to several glyphs       or several characters to one glyph (a {character encoding}).          Usually used in reference to {outline fonts}, in particular       {TrueType}.          (1998-05-31)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Gilboa       boiling spring, a mountain range, now Jebel Fukua', memorable as       the scene of Saul's disastrous defeat by the Philistines. Here       also his three sons were slain, and he himself died by his own       hand (1 Sam. 28:4; 31:1-8; 2 Sam. 1:6-21; 21:12; 1 Chr. 10:1,       8). It was a low barren range of mountains bounding the valley       of Esdraelon (Jezreel) on the east, between it and the Jordan       valley. When the tidings of this defeat were conveyed to David,       he gave utterance to those pathetic words in the "Song of the       Bow" (2 Sam. 1:19-27).
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Gilboa, revolution of inquiry
