and frost
A covering, with context-dependent applications: (1) a shallow vessel or basin, possibly with a cover, used in liturgical or domestic settings; (2) white frost or hoarfrost, as a thin covering of ice crystals on the ground. While both senses share the notion of a superficial covering, the specific referent is determined by context. Occasionally, the word may refer to a tankard or goblet, though evidence for this is limited.
