PLANK , a
flat
  piece of timber, sawn and planed; it is technically distinguished from a " board " by its greater thickness, and should measure from 2 to 4 in. in thickness and from 10 to 11 in.

post

planets
 , a nasalized
adaptation
  probably of Gr. 7XaE, something
flat
 , especially a flat
stone
 . The use of the word " plank " in the sense of an
article
