dictionary says Explanation: éclisse - 1. Eclat de bois en forme de coin 2. ... 3. Bois de petites dimensions pour faire des ouvrages légers 4. Plaque de bois mince pour faire les côtés d'un luth ... 5. Rond d'osier sur lequel on fait égoutter le fromage [as above] 6. [and this is the one I know best] Plaque d'acier qui réunit les rails du chemin de fer. I suspect it may be 3, but more context is really required to see how this thing works with whatever it is part of. |

split wicker joint Explanation: almost literal translation. We've all seen traditional "picnic baskets" where the fastener is made from split wicker. Must admit don't know if there is a specific name. |
