        are parallel with the course of the wind, so as to shake.
        
  
     All told, all counted; in all.
  
     And all, and the rest; and everything connected. ``Bring
        our crown and all.'' --Shak.
  
     At all.
     (a) In every respect; wholly; thoroughly. [Obs.] ``She is a
         shrew at al(l).'' --Chaucer.
     (b) A phrase much used by way of enforcement or emphasis,
         usually in negative or interrogative sentences, and
         signifying in any way or respect; in the least degree or
         to the least extent; in the least; under any
         circumstances; as, he has no ambition at all; has he any
         property at all? ``Nothing at all.'' --Shak. ``If thy
         father at all miss me.'' --1 Sam. xx. 6.
  
     Over all, everywhere. [Obs.] --Chaucer.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: All is much used in composition to enlarge the meaning,
           or add force to a word. In some instances, it is
           completely incorporated into words, and its final
           consonant is dropped, as in almighty, already, always:
           but, in most instances, it is an adverb prefixed to
           adjectives or participles, but usually with a hyphen,
           as, all-bountiful, all-glorious, allimportant,
           all-surrounding, etc. In others it is an adjective; as,
           allpower, all-giver. Anciently many words, as, alabout,
           alaground, etc., were compounded with all, which are
           now written separately.
