1. In your garden. A dibble (from Middle English dibben, probably related to dip) is a pointed, hand-held tool for making holes for planting seedlings, bulbs, and such.

2. Mislead, conceal the truth. Many people thought he was dissembling when he said his sale of the stocks just before they lost value was a pure coincidence.

3. A didapper is a diving bird, a small grebe, that can swim well underwater. (It comes from Old English dufan, to dive, and doppa, a kind of bird.)

4. Insincere, especially in a calculated pretense of innocence. It was disingenuous of him to claim that he had absent-mindedly tossed the package of money into his freezer. (From Latin dis, opposite of, and ingenuous, honorable, frank.)

5. Extra fingers or toes (or in animals, paws or toes). (The word comes from Greek hyper, over, and daktylos, finger.) Even with his hyperdactylism, the politician couldn’t count the times he had been disingenuous or dissembing during the course of the day.
