*** CHAPPOW ***

1. [sl.] a hat.

2. a rat snake.

3. a long waterproof coat.

4. a very substantial cowpat.

5. an Indian grass sandal [Hindi]

6. a plundering expedition, a raid.

7. a ruffle or flounce on a garment.

8. a usually dry river bed or arroyo.

9. a type of sandal from southern India.

10. any deep ravine that cuts into a desert mesa.

11. [ME] a formal bonnet, esp. one worn when attending a church
ceremony.

12. a hybridized breed of swine prized for its proclivity to gain
weight rapidly.

13. Choctaw name [translation "Creator's game"] for the sport that
became lacrosse.

14. _obs._ Japan (fr. incorrect Chinese transliteration found
in Spanish shipping records ca. 1590)

15. [Algonquin] a compressed mixture of corn and other grains,
used by North American Indians as overwintering foodstuffs.

16. a type of cauldron, _spec._ one filled with scalding water and
employed in trials of ordeal; (in later use) the ordeal itself.

17. a cabbage-tree hat (also known as a cabbage palm hat), a kind
of straw hat made from the leaves of the _Livistona australis_, also known
as the cabbage-tree palm.

18. a type of balacalava with flaps to cover or expose the ears
and mouth, used by immigrants during the Yukon gold rush of 1895-9
(originally thought to be a corruption of the French _chapeau_ but more
likely from Inuit _'cha_ + _opao_ fur + head).

19. (Com. Chem.) a fertilizer obtained by treating bone dust, bone
black, or phosphorite with sulphuric acid, whereby the insoluble neutral
calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2, is changed to the primary or acid calcium
phosphate Ca(H2PO4)2, which is soluble and therefore available for the soil.

As tempting as the combinable sandals are (maybe one's left and one's
right?), I'm not sure I believe either.

I don't believe 4, either, but it made me laugh, along with the "fur
head" etymology of 18.

Too many Hindi/Indian sandals for my liking. I think more likely one of the
Native American-type of "Indian" origin. Of the two, I'll take:

#15 - the Algonquin corn, and

#3 - the long coat.

Since I can't imagine two people coming up with fictional Indian sandals by
sheer chance (I also can't imagine why the two defs weren't combined), I
have to vote for

5. an Indian grass sandal [Hindi]

and

9. a type of sandal from southern India
