Add to ORKGgroaner(T.S. Eliot to John Hayward, 1941, "The Dry Salvages" 'the heaving groaner' in line 34: 'Groaner'. Yes, I was waiting to see what you would make of this. It is the New England word for a 'whistling buoy', which by some arrangement of valves, makes a groaning noise equivalent, but that would give the wrong effect. I noted absence from OED. This is a pretty problem too.'[inc] pub. 1941Used I and SupUsed I and Sup1Not use
