Oak \Oak\ ([omac]k), n. [OE. oke, ok, ak, AS. [be]c; akin to D.       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             staminate flowers in catkins. The fruit is a smooth nut,             called an {acorn}, which is more or less inclosed in a             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             proportions and live many centuries. The wood is usually             hard and tough, and provided with conspicuous medullary             rays, forming the silver grain.          2. The strong wood or timber of the oak.          Note: Among the true oaks in America are:          {Barren oak}, or          {Black-jack}, {Q. nigra}.          {Basket oak}, {Q. Michauxii}.          {Black oak}, {Q. tinctoria}; -- called also {yellow} or             {quercitron oak}.          {Bur oak} (see under {Bur}.), {Q. macrocarpa}; -- called also             {over-cup} or {mossy-cup oak}.          {Chestnut oak}, {Q.

Phellos}. Among the true oaks in Europe             are:          {Bitter oak}, [or]          {Turkey oak}, {Q. Cerris} (see {Cerris}).          {Cork oak}, {Q.

Quirky \Quirk"y\, a.       Full of quirks; tricky; as, a quirky lawyer.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Quarries       (1.) The "Royal Quarries" (not found in Scripture) is the name       given to the vast caverns stretching far underneath the northern       hill, Bezetha, on which Jerusalem is built. Out of these mammoth       caverns stones, a hard lime-stone, have been quarried in ancient       times for the buildings in the city, and for the temples of       Solomon, Zerubbabel, and Herod. Huge blocks of stone are still       found in these caves bearing the marks of pick and chisel. The       general appearance of the whole suggests to the explorer the       idea that the Phoenician quarrymen have just suspended their       work. The supposition that the polished blocks of stone for       Solomon's temple were sent by Hiram from Lebanon or Tyre is not       supported by any evidence (comp. 1 Kings 5:8). Hiram sent masons       and stone-squarers to Jerusalem to assist Solomon's workmen in       their great undertaking, but did not send stones to Jerusalem,       where, indeed, they were not needed, as these royal quarries       abundantly testify.                (2.) The "quarries" (Heb. pesilim) by Gilgal (Judg. 3:19),       from which Ehud turned back for the purpose of carrying out his       design to put Eglon king of Moab to death, were probably the       "graven images" (as the word is rendered by the LXX. and the       Vulgate and in the marg. A.V. and R.V.), or the idol temples the       Moabites had erected at Gilgal, where the children of Israel       first encamped after crossing the Jordan. The Hebrew word is       rendered "graven images" in Deut. 7:25, and is not elsewhere       translated "quarries."
