cokernut

This spelling was introduced by the London customhouse to distinguish more widely between this and other articles spelt much in the same manner.

cokernut (plural cokernuts)

1. Archaic form of coconut.
   • 1911, Henry Valentine Knaggs, The Healthy Life Beverage Book, C. W. Daniel, page 50:

     The cokernut (sometimes spelt "cocoanut," though it has, of course, no connection with cocoa) is a sort of "ugly duckling" when compared with other nuts, and few people partake of it regularly.

• “cokernut”, in Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, Springfield, Mass.: G. & C. Merriam, 1913, →OCLC.
