Yoke, poke, the name given to a device made from three sticks which is placed round the necks of dogs and swine in order to prevent them from jumping over hedges and trespassing in gardens. The word ‘tribar’ is derived from these three sticks; in Cotgrave, a ‘t’ is added and ‘tribart’ is defined as a ‘short stick’. [1]
