Nibbing should never be confused with Nibbling. Nibbing is a word in current usage in the wooden boat construction industry. Its obscure root had to do with the sharpening and splitting the end of (a quill) to make a feather pen. In its current nautical usage, it refers to removing a triangular shaped portion from the outboard edge of a plank, such that it will fit into a notch in the deck's waterway, and allow the fastener to be as far forward on the plank as is possible. The sharpened deck plank resemble the nibbed quill.
