peer agreement (net): +1central branch (tine, prong) of a geographical trident Explanation: I think this is supposed to be a more "literary" turn of phrase to describe something, rather than an actual "technical" term. If you wanted to elaborate on the metaphor, you could use either "tine" or "prong", which are the actual names of the arms on a trident. Best, |

the central ravine (arm) of a geographical trident Explanation: This is about ancient Jerusalem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyropoeon_Valley Tyropoeon Valley (i.e., "Valley of the Cheesemakers") is the name given by Josephus the historian (Wars 5.140) to the valley or rugged ravine, in the Old City of Jerusalem, which in ancient times separated Mount Moriah from Mount Zion and emptied into the valley of Hinnom. The Tyropoeon, now filled up with a vast accumulation of debris, and almost a plain, was spanned by bridges, the most noted of which was Zion Bridge, which was probably the ordinary means of communication between the royal palace on Zion and the temple. Arm comes to memory when thinking of the Brazos river in Texas. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2012-05-12 12:59:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually these are three valleys |
