COFFLE baffles! (And Thunderbird doesn't like it at all, insisting that
surely I must have meant COFFEE.) I'll try:

1. a drain or watercourse in fen districts

and

8. in a gear train. an idler wheel which has the same number of teeth as
the driver wheel and is used merely to transfer the drive to a different
alignment.
