From my dictionary: (Collins concise English dictionary, 3rd ed (1992))

dyke(1) /or esp U.S./ dike n. 1. an embankment constructed to prevent
flooding, keep out the sea, or confine a river to a particular course. 2. a
ditch or watercourse. 3. a bank made of earth alongside a ditch. 4. /Scot./
a wall, esp. a dry-stone wall. 5. a barrier or obstruction. 6. a wall-like
mass of igneous rock in older sedimentary rock. 7. /Austral. inf./ a
lavatory. ~ vb. dykes, dyking, dyked. 8. (tr.) to protect, enclose or drain
(land) with a dyke. [C13: from OE /dic/ ditch]

dyke(2) /or/ dike n. /Sl./ a lesbian. [C20: from ?]

You may argue that meaning (1)1, 2 and 3 really are the same, and that this
is entirely not what you mean anyway ;-)

-Olaf.

\X/ An original idea. That can't be too hard. The library must be full of them.
