fascine mattress Explanation: Betekent letterlijk "zinkstuk" volgens het Kluwer Polytechnisch Woordenboek. "Fascine" betekent verder als afzonderlijk woord gewoon "wiep". Zie verder ook de beschrijving van "fascine"op WP; lijkt me wel in de context passen. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascine |
