Shingle
Round, water-worn, and loose gravel and pebbles, or a collection of roundish stones, such as are common on the seashore and elsewhere.
A piece of wood sawed or rived thin and small, with one end thinner than the other, -- used in covering buildings, especially roofs, the thick ends of one row overlapping the thin ends of the row below.
A sign for an office or a shop; as, to hang out one's shingle.
To cover with shingles; as, to shingle a roof.
To cut, as hair, so that the ends are evenly exposed all over the head, as shingles on a roof.
To subject to the process of shindling, as a mass of iron from the pudding furnace.
