Gammerstang commented on the word nonpower
(noun) - The position of a sheep when on its back and unable to get up. Fat sheep, at the time when their fleeces are at the fullest growth, very often get upon their backs, and having nothing to kick against are unable to turn. The situation is dangerous inasmuch as the animal's struggles soon bring on inflammation of the bowels. Somerset. --Joseph Wright's English Dialect Dictionary, 1896-1905
