thill

Now no dray moves more readily to the thill than I do to the painter's chair.

He was talking as much to himself as to the poor fellow who clung to the thill.

Three horses were harnessed abreast, the middle one standing between the thills, which were hung with bells.

The yell and the crack electrified the rawboned old nag into making a wild leap as if trying to jump out of the thills.

From the ends of the thills springs a wooden arch, called the duga, rising eighteen inches above the horse's shoulder, and usually emblazoned with gilding and brilliant colors.
