    Alternative form of eking. alt-of, alternative

    "The ekeing at the lower part of the supporter under the cat-head, is only to continue the shape and fashion of that part, being of no other purpose. We make this remark, because, if the supporter were stopt short without an ekeing, it would be better, as it causes the side to rot, and it commonly appears fair to the eye in but one direction. The Ekeing is also the piece of carved work under the lower part of the quarter-piece, at the aft part of the quarter-gallery."
