         DefinitionShort: a large plank at the stern of a ship used to direct its course

         Glosses: rudder

         Comments: For some ships the rudder may have been simply a large steering paddle. For languages which have no technical term, a rudder may be described as ‘an instrument for steering the ship’ or ‘an instrument for making the ship go the way one wants it to go.’
