driven as a winze
I did some digging and came up with this candidate. Ordnett.no pairs "synk" with "winze". See also the links below. Proceed carefully as you enter the tunnel. ;-)
winze | wɪnz |
noun Mining
a shaft or inclined passage leading from one level to another, but not rising to the surface: a winze 50 feet deep.
winze | wɪnz |
noun Mining
a shaft or inclined passage leading from one level to another, but not rising to the surface: a winze 50 feet deep.
Example sentence:
A vertical or inclined shaft that does not lead to the surface but connects two different levels is called a raise. In the event that the shaft is lower than the level of the mine ... then it is referred to as a winze.
