         DefinitionShort: a calm or unruffled surface of a body of water

         Glosses: a calm (in contrast with a storm over water).

         Comments: A calm after a storm may be referred to figuratively in some languages as ‘the water lay down’ or ‘the waves sank down again’ or ‘the water became like a table top.’
