7 dogie

(origin uncertain, see below)

   1) West: 1888. A motherless calf; a young, scrawny calf; a runt.

    Alternate forms: doge, dogee, dogey, doghie, dogie calf, dogy, doughie.

   2) Arizona, California: 1921. By extension, a motherless lamb. Also dogie lamb.

   3) Adams indicates this term sometimes means a laced shoe.

   4) According to Blevins, also used adjectivally in a humorous way for anything doomed to failure or "unlikely to survive." The origin of this term is uncertain, but there are many theories. Hendrickson provides several possibilities. The term may be from "dough-guts," referring to the swollen bellies of orphaned calves, or it may derive from "doggie," a playful way to refer to young calves. This latter etymology does not explain why the stem vowel of dogie is never pronounced [a] (as in doggie) but as [o]. Hendrickson, among others, also claims that it derives from the Spanish adobe or "dobie." Both he and Blevins also note that it may have derived from Bambara dogo or African Creole dogi, both of which mean 'short' or 'small.' Hendrickson hypothesizes that the term was originally applied by black cowboys. Blevins cites Owen Wister, who believes that the term comes from doga, a term meaning 'trifling stock.' Dale Jarman (personal communication) presents the most convincing etymology. He derives the term from dogal (see above), since these young orphaned calves could be led by a rope tied around the neck. It is possible that some cowpoke who knew enough Spanish to mistakenly identify -al as the common collective suffix, may have coined the blend: supposed Spanish root dog plus the English diminutive. Spanish sources do not reference a similar term.

Ex: These headings, therefore, in addition to exhibiting a bias in favor of the majority, actively hinder access.

Ex: The reputation of the information and its authority will be more exposed to examination.

Ex: Other catalogues and bibliographies only feature added entries under title where it is deemed that the author main entry heading is not likely to be obvious to the users.

Ex: The perfect librarian may be defined as one who produces the information a reader requires as soon as the reader asks for it.

Ex: This list indicates the dates the reports were tabled and any further action take.

Ex: Most publications are probably free distribution material and whilst that does not absolve the publishers from the obligation of legal deposit it is probable that many local authorities do not submit their materials.

Ex: Here is an institution which knows, neither rank nor wealth within its walls, which stops the ignorant peer or the ignorant monarch at its threshold, and declines to unveil to him its treasures, or to waste time upon him, and yet welcomes the workman according to his knowledge or thirst for knowledge.

Ex: Officially known as SOLEX, this exhibition showcases mainly IT based products for the legal profession.

Ex: The book's date label is stamped in the usual way, and the reader must surrender one token for each book he is borrowing.

Ex: There should be plenty of space to lay out all the books attractively and for people to move about without feeling too crowded.

Ex: I don't need to tell those of you from higher education institutions how course management systems are starting to really proliferate and roll out in higher education.
