What does QUANT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A long pole with a flat foot, used to push a punt or barge along.
The flat foot is the whole point: it stops the pole sinking into soft mud, which is what happens to a plain punt pole in the fenland rivers where the quant belongs. Working it is a shove and a walk down the deck rather than a push from one spot, and the word doubles as the verb for doing so.
How QUANT is used
Countable noun and also a verb: to quant a punt upstream. The foot is the part that distinguishes it from an ordinary pole.
