Usage examples of "dekle".
The boy's name was Dekle, and he was eighteen, as big and white as a Frigidaire, and just about as intelligent.
At the time Jim Tile was new to Harney, and the Dekle boy remarked how he had never seen a chocolate state trooper before.
At which point Dekle punched Jim Tile with all his strength and was astounded to see the trooper merely rock back slightly on his heels, when any other human being would have fallen flat on his back, out cold.
