crenelation

1 At the photo’s center, or just beyond the far end of the North Arcade, the Armory marks the horizon with its roofline crenelations.

2 Was there another word for flip-flops, the word I couldn’t remember, the word lost in the crenelations of my brain?

3 Without the crenelation — rooftop piers along the east and west facades — Puck looks sadly diminished.

4 He pulled at the rope—it was firm; the ruler had caught the crenelations.

5 This ruler must be tied across the rope; when the rope is flung over the wall, the ruler will catch across the crenelation.

6 The relief’s toothy, saw-like edges conjure the textile’s fringe in such fierce form, they also resemble the crenelations of a castle.

7 I leaned upon the crenelations and looked off across the hills, enjoying the loveliness of the sky, in which the planets throbbed superbly.

8 THE middle ages broke out all over around 1890, when George Ingram churned out medieval-style police stations like a ticket blitz; crenelations, spires and parapets made them redoubts of order in a changing city.

9 During that first evening in Sarajevo, I found myself standing in front of a once-grand building now lying largely in ruins, its windows boarded up, its crenelations collapsed, soot marks staining its walls.

10 To our right is a concrete-block building with odd swirls and crenelations along the roof, perhaps a misguided nod to the crown on the spire of Krakow’s cathedral.

11 There may have been no lonely legionary accustomed to standing on it and looking fearfully north—indeed, no parapet, no  walkway along the top, and no crenelations, much of which are archeological conjectures.

12 A few couples roamed the ramparts, peering through the crenelations as Ms. Gonçalves filled me in on the history of the town and the structure, the largest and best-preserved castle in the Algarve.

13 But for Burden the brick towers were too smooth and abstract, missing crenelation and other details.

14 “The queen without her crown,” John Lankenau thought as he watched, with growing dismay, the demolition of the brick crenelation atop the landmark Puck Building at Lafayette and Houston Streets.

15 Within the crumbling crenelations of the ancient battlements twenty-four once large parishes are more or less abandoned or laid waste with their convents, monasteries, and palaces.

16 Each receptor, ingenious in its design, recognized some characteristic microbial or viral signature—a kink in a virus’s RNA, a crenellation in a microbial cell wall.

17 But something else has been happening on the roof besides the crenelation work, something in which Tropical Storm Irene played a cameo role.

18 He put on his coat, which had been lying across one of the crenelations, and covered his head with a small soft hat.

19 Couples amble along the waterfront past the 16th-century Belém Tower, a frosted cake of turrets and crenelations.

20 He peered through one of the crenelations of the rampart beside him and could just see through the morning mists the moving mass of rushing men,—horses—guns in mad confusion.
