Found in damp bushy places and much cultivated as a source of hops, the ripened conelike spikes of the female plant, used to give a bitter flavour to malt liquors, and as a tonic and soporific.
maple | 19 A Eurasian tree, Acer campestre (family Aceraceae), with fruit in the form of two winged samaras joined together and palmately lobed leaves (more fully common maple, hedge maple). Also (with specifying word), any of numerous similar trees of this or other genera.

oat | 21 A hardy cereal plant of the genus Avena, usually Avena sativa. Used as food for people (for example: in porridge) and animals, especially horses.
oilCrop | 22 A crop grown for its oil content. For example, oil palms, rape, and sunflower.

furrow | 1 Plants are grown in raised beds or listed rows (in the case of row crops) with water distributed throughout the field via ditches or pipes, and between the beds or rows using furrows. Where ditches are used, manually controlled siphon tubes may be used move water from the main ditch to the furrow. When pipes are used, water flow can be controlled by turning it on or off at the local source or by using automatic or manually controlled gates to transfer it from one set of ditches to another. Unless the field is small or very level, parts of it may suffer from water-logging while other parts may be too dry. Depending on heat, wind, and soil permeability, much water may be lost before it can benefit the plants.
overhead | 2 Water is piped to one or more central locations within the field and distributed by overhead high-pressure sprinklers or guns or by lower-pressure sprays. A system utilizing sprinklers, sprays, or guns mounted overhead on permanently installed risers is often referred to as a 'solid-set' irrigation system. Manually assembled systems of piping that are broken down to permit tillage and harvesting are sometimes called 'hand set' or 'hand move pipe'. Some sprinklers can also be hidden below ground level, if aesthetics is a concern, and pop up in response to increased water pressure. Sprinklers that spray in a fixed pattern are generally called sprays or spray heads. Higher pressure sprinklers that rotate are called rotors and are driven by a ball drive, gear drive, or impact mechanism. Rotors can be designed to rotate in a full or partial circle. Guns are similar to rotors, except that they generally operate at very high pressures. One drawback of overhead irrigation is that much water can be lost because of high winds or evaporation, and irrigating the entire field uniformly can be difficult or tedious if the system is not properly designed. Water remaining on plants' leaves may promote fungal and other diseases.
centerPivot | 3 A form of overhead irrigation consisting of several segments of pipe (usually galvanized steel or aluminum) joined together and supported by trusses, mounted on wheeled towers with sprinklers positioned along its length, the system moving in a circular pattern and fed with water from the pivot point at the center of the arc. Most center pivot systems now have drops hanging from a u-shaped pipe called a gooseneck attached at the top of the pipe with sprinkler heads that are positioned a few feet (at most) above the crop, thus limiting evaporative losses. Drops can also be used with drag hoses or bubblers that deposit the water directly on the ground between crops. The crops are planted in a circle to conform to the center pivot.
linearMove | 4 A form of overhead irrigation similar to center pivot irrigation in which the equipment is configured to move in a straight line, where the water is pulled from a central ditch.

Description: | The component order is such that the specific part of the name appears first, followed by an optional comma, the generic part of the name, and then finally any articles or prepositions (for example: 'Everest, Mount' or 'Mexico, Gulf of'). For some geographic names no reordering of the full name is required (for example: 'Tigrus River'). Geographic names that are believed to no longer exist are enclosed in double parenthesis, as: '(( Name ))'.

Title: | ISDES_2.LAN
Definition: | The International Organization for Standardization (ISO 639-3) three character code that designates the language or macrolanguage of the source of a geographic name.
Description: | A macrolanguage is a set of closely related language varieties (dialects) that generally have a common linguistic identity and a common written form; this may occur when there is a transitional socio-linguistic situation in which sub-communities of a single language community are diverging. The language of the geographic name source should be distinguished from the language of origin or etymology of a geographic name; for example, considering the place name 'San Jose, California' the language of the source of this geographic name may be English if it is determined from a United States map, regardless of the fact that this geographic name means 'St. Joseph, California' in Spanish.
