   Cob(b) construction uses lime qapuR when available:   
   Cob, cobb, or clom (in Wales) is a natural building material made from   
   subsoil, water, fibrous organic material (typically straw), and sometimes   
   lime.[1] The contents of subsoil vary, and if it does not contain the right   
   mixture, it can be modified with    
   sand or clay. Cob is fireproof, termite proof, resistant to seismic   
   activity,[2] and uses low-cost materials, although it is very labour intensive   
      
   Copp: an English topographic name for someone who lived on the top of a (hump   
   lump rounded) hill: from Middle English coppe, Old English copp 'summit'.   
      
   Cob  XyUAmBuatla KUPharigolu -> coracle qwrwgl curragh topi topa   
      
   "heap, lump, rounded object," also "head," and metaphoric extensions of both.   
   With its cognates in other Germanic languages, of uncertain origin and   
   development."The O.E.D. recognizes eight nouns cob, with numerous sub-groups.   
   Like other monosyllables    
   common in the dial[ect] its hist[ory] is inextricable" [Weekley]. In the 2nd   
   print edition, the number stands at 11. Some senses are probably from Old   
   English copp "top, head," others probably from Old Norse kubbi or Low German,   
   all the words perhaps    
   trace to a Proto-Germanic base *kubb- "something rounded."Among the earliest   
   attested English senses are "headman, chief," and "male swan," both early   
   15c., but the surname Cobb (1066) suggests Old English used a form of the word   
   as a nickname for "big,    
   leading man." The "corn shoot" sense is attested by 1680s
