| Koohii Story 1 | The gunwale is perhaps the most mysterious part of a boat for it is neither a gun nor a whale. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Gunwale (rhymes with "tunnel") is the top edge of the side of a boat, for example the widened lip on the sides of a canoe. The mysterious origin of this part of a boat comes from the strengthened sides of warships that used artillery (it means "gun ridge"). |
