-lock

The suffix -lock in Modern English survives only in wedlock. It descends from Old English -lác which was more productive, carrying a meaning of "action or proceeding, state of being, practice, ritual". As a noun, Old English lác means "play, sport", deriving from an earlier meaning of "sacrificial ritual or hymn" (Proto-Germanic *laikaz). A putative term for a "hymn to the gods" (*ansu-laikaz) in early Germanic paganism is attested only as a personal name, Oslac.

Suffix

The Old English nouns in -lác include brýdlác "nuptials", beadolác, feohtlác and heaðolác "warfare", hǽmedlác and wiflác "carnal intercourse", réaflác "robbery", wítelác "punishment", wróhtlác "calumny" besides the wedlác "pledge-giving", also "nuptials" ancestral to wedlock. A few compounds appear only in Middle English, thus dweomerlak "occult practice", ferlac "terror", shendlac "disgrace", treulac "faithfulness", wohlac "wooing", all of them extinct by the onset of Early Modern English. The earliest words taking the -lác suffix were probably related to warfare, comparable to the -pleȝa (-play) suffix found in swordplay.

    Rugby league positions

    A rugby league football team consists of thirteen players on the field, with four substitutes on the bench. Players are divided into two general categories, forwards and backs.

    Forwards are generally chosen for their size and strength. They are expected to run with the ball, to attack, and to make tackles. Forwards are required to improve the team's field position thus creating space and time for the backs. Backs are usually smaller and faster, though a big, fast player can be of advantage in the backs. Their roles require speed and ball-playing skills, rather than just strength, to take advantage of the field position gained by the forwards.

    Names and numbering

    The laws of the game recognise standardised numbering of positions. The starting side normally wear the numbers corresponding to their positions, only changing in the case of substitutions and position shifts during the game. In some competitions, such as Super League, players receive a squad number to use all season, no matter what positions they play in.

    Black Cat Bone

    by: Laika

    Must have been the devil who changed my mind
    Must have been the wind blowing not me crying
    Half the joy of icaving was the space I left behind
    Now I'm back, angelheaded holloweyed
    Placed myself at the eye of the storm
    Just didn't see the signpost to scorn
    The blue sky wrinkled through my tears
    Them darkness grounded all my fears
    I gave him my sugar; he switched it for salt
    Should have seem him coming that's always my fault
    Rocks for my pillow and sand for my bed
    For better or worse I left him for dead
    But two rivers to each other run
    Words that shook me like the kick of a gun
    Had something in my heart ain't got no name
    Turned out he left the same
    Ain't it lonesome, ain't it sad
    I was the only happiness he ever had
    By indian river the vows were said
    In a red devil's dress I was wed
    Cat cat bone, cat cat cat bone x8
    Bitch baby round lady
    Came to me in a dream
    Them lightning struck and thunder roared
    And nothing was as it seemed
    A two-headed doctor walked on the water
    And buried a lemon outside my door
    He turned and laughed, threw up his hands
    When I asked him what it was for
    He sang 'ships in the ocean rocks in the sea
    Blond-headed woman made a fool outta me'
    Them everything went crazy
    My shoes filled with blood
    The water rose the wind did howl
    The river looked ready to flood
    I left my man asleep to drown
    And ran without looking back around
    Ring the bells of mercy
    Send the sinnerman home
    The keys to the kingdom are lost and gone
    And I'm left to die alone
    All these irls grown old now
    All that long hair in the grave
    Realize what's done is done
    It's far too late to be saved
    Yeah cat cat cat x3
