Capelin - these little fishies are plentiful in Newfoundland waters (though the fishermen are trying very hard not to make it so ). I had to eat one when I was "screeched in" last year (became an honorary Newfoundlander). It was salted, and about the size of a finger. It was horribly tough to chew and the end result was something like fish chewing gum. Ick!

Carbineer - there's a town here called Carbonear. I wonder if it just means someone who works with carbon. Maybe in a mine or something.

carnet - means notebook in French. I think. Along with "cahier".
