 Inkhorn
    The Hebrew word so rendered means simply a round vessel or cup
    for containing ink, which was generally worn by writers in the
    girdle (Ezek. 9:2, 3,11). The word "inkhorn" was used by the
    translators, because in former times in this country horns were
    used for containing ink.
