Sometimes one word of the day gives you another word of the day to look up. Here's the other:

Felly \Fel"ly\, n.; pl. Fellies. [OE. feli, felwe, felow, AS. felg, felge; akin to D. velg, G. felge, OHG. felga felly (also, a harrow, but prob. a different word), Dan. felge.] The exterior wooden rim, or a segment of the rim, of a wheel, supported by the spokes. [Written also felloe.]

Break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel. --Shak.
