Question[]

What is "defalay" (phonetically sounds like........deaf-a-lay) and the correct spelling for it?  I googled several different spellings for it and got no hits.BR549-JR (talk) 04:35, February 23, 2017 (UTC)

I believe he is saying "defilade", a military term for approaching emplaced machine gun positions and the like I think. Snivystorm (talk) 14:51, February 23, 2017 (UTC)
Hey thanks, I appreciate your reply.  That is one spelling i had not tried previously, but after you documented it above, I was able to find it and its definition on the internet.BR549-JR (talk) 15:03, February 23, 2017 (UTC)
