prettygoodwordthole (THOHL) - n., a pin or pair of pins inserted vertically in the gunwale of a rowing boat to provide a fulcrum for an oar.
This one's old, dating back to Old English þol, with cognates in several Germanic languages. The Scots verb meaning to suffer or endure, we ignore -- it can thole in ignorance.
