dyking
SayDY-king/ˈdaɪkɪŋ/
- 1Alternative spelling of diking.
Dyking along the lower river began soon after the spring flood.
The marsh was reclaimed through a combination of dyking and pumping.
Note
The y spelling is built on dyke, the main one on dike, and the meaning does not change between them; both drop the final e before -ing. As an uncountable noun for the work itself it takes no plural and no a, so writers speak of years of dyking, or of dyking and draining, rather than of a dyking.
