Sley the Dent?
Sley the Dent is a weaving term that means to put the warp yarns into the reed.
An exacting process and a good time to listen to an audio book.
But for me, the phrase conjures images of myself as an ancient goddess of weaving and warfare brandishing my sley hook in one hand and my shuttle in the other, doing battle with the goblins that are trying to tangle my warp threads.
