Creation and Usage Notes

It's silly, but I was quite excited about this word because it delighted me to think of forks as little hands with little tine fingers. That's right: forks have tiny tine-y fingers. (In case you're wondering, "tine" and "tiny" come from different etymological sources in English. I checked.)
