 **Fall**, det tåg eller den ta ja, varmed ett segel hissas.
+===== The Sailor's Word-Book - 1867 =====
+**HALLIARDS**, **HALYARDS**, OR **HAULYARDS**. The ropes or tackles usually employed to hoist or lower any sail upon its respective yards, gaffs, or stay, except the cross-jack and spritsail-yard, which are always slung; but in small craft the spritsail-yard also has halliards. ( See JEERS.)
+**JEERS**. Answer the same purpose to the main-sail, fore-sail, and mizen, as halliards do to all inferior sails. The tye, a sort of runner, or thick rope, is the upper part of the jeers. Also, an assemblage of strong tackles by which the lower yards are hoisted up along the mast, or lowered down, as occasion requires; the former of which operations is called swaying, and the latter striking (both of which see).
