I discovered that 'rabbet' was the original English word, and 'rebate'
is a derivation, so paradoxically, for once the New World has

was a common English word at the time, we lost it and they kept it.

I wonder what other s there are.

Of course, if you want to refer to 'Fulffy' as a rebate, I suppose you
could......

sorry, that one misses me...
