thole
Gunwale oar pin
Thole is a pin set in the gunwale of a boat to serve as a fulcrum for an oar—what's more commonly called a thole pin or oarlock.
Separately, thole is an archaic or dialectal verb meaning to endure or suffer: She tholed the cold winter without complaint.
This second sense survives mainly in Scottish and Northern English dialects.
