gunwalegunneln.

/ˈɡʌnəl/

Forms: α. Middle English gonne walle, 1600s gunwayle, gunwaile, (1700s gun-wall), 1700s– gunwale, (1800s gunwhale). β. 1600s gun(n)al, 1700s– gunnel. γ. 1600s–1700s gunhil(l.

Etymology: < gun n. + wale n.¹, the gunwale having formerly served to support the guns (compare quot. 1697 at sense aβ. ). The usual spelling is still gunwale, though the pronunciation /ˈɡʌnweɪl/ is, at least in Great Britain, never used by persons acquainted with nautical or boating matters.

a. The upper edge of a ship's side; in large vessels, the uppermost planking, which covers the timber-heads and reaches from the quarter-deck to the forecastle on either side; in small craft, a piece of timber extending round the top side of the hull.
