318 Oar fork for rowing boats (whatever such things are called in
English)

the word you are looking for to describe 318 is rollocks

Are you sure. Could not find that word using dict, but rowlock was the

rowlock
n : a holder attached to the gunwale of a boat that holds the
oar in place and acts as a fulcrum for rowing [syn: {peg},
{pin}, {thole}, {tholepin}, {oarlock}]

But thanks anyway.

There's also "oarlock", but that doesn't look like one. It looks
kind of like the Y from a stethoscope.

CHeers!
