Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COG . (r) (From' an older cogge, a word which appears in various forms in Teutonic
languages
 , as in O. Ger. kogge or kocke, and also in Romanic, as in O. Fr. cogue, or coque, from which the Eng. "
cock
 -boat " is derived; the connexion between the Teutonic and the Romanic forms is obscure), a broadly built, round-shaped ship, used as a trader and also as a ship of war till the 15th
century
 . (2) (A word of obscure origin, possibly connected with Fr. coche, and Ital. cocca, a notch; the Celtic forms cog and cocas come from the
English
 ), a tooth in a
series
  of teeth, morticed on to, or. cut out of the circumference of a wheel, which works with the tooth in a corresponding
series
  on another wheel (see
MECHANICS
 ). (3) (Also of quite obscure origin), a
slang
 
term
  for a form of cheating at dice. The early uses of the word show that this was done not by " loading " the dice, as the
modern
  use of the expression of " cogged dice " seems to imply, but by sleight of hand in directing the fall or in changing the dice.
