disagree  James (Jim) Davis: Its a church not a ship. You can't thwart me! http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=desk... Precisely primarily nautical the ME is "probably after the Old Norse, um pvert" (SOE Dict) famous for their long ships, Lit Arch

  -> what's the word "athwart" got to do with ships? a crack can run athwart a mirror in your bathroom. a one-sided reference just to prove your point. read john banville, he uses "athwart" all the time, and never talks about boats.
