I'm pulling this from the list of disambiguation pages. This is really just a dictionary entry. There is no content behind the discussion of either type of "mast" for us to disambiguate the links to. However, I know that content grows over time, so in case we ever have enough to create pages for [[Mast (support)]] and [[Mast (harvest)]], I'll leave the disambiguation text below so it can be easily pasted back.

This is a disambiguation page; that is, one that just points to other pages that might otherwise have the same name. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix that link to point to the appropriate specific page.

I removed some dicdefs, maybe someone would like to incorporate them into Wiktionary etc.

• In post-sail naval ships, a mast is a tall structure which may carriy (depending on the era) pennants, lookout posts, radar antennas, flags, and lights.
• In botany, a mast is a crop of fruit or nuts (wild or cultivated) that ripen at the same time (examples are Beech mast and the fruit of the Rimu tree)
• Meher Baba used the word mast (pronounced like 'must') to denote those who he said were "God intoxicated," i.e. caught in a trance of spiritual experiences and ecstasies.
• In popular parlance in India, "mast" now means "chill out". Thus you may find people saying "be mast".--Commander Keane 07:54, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I personally think the improvement is great. Chris 18:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
