Some substitutions are so unexpected that you must encounter them in the wild – you couldn’t foresee their existence. The use of reign force in place of “reinforce” is one of those. Reinforce has three syllables, though the second might not be obvious in rapid speech. It seems doubtful that “reign” is being pronounced with two syllables; it is more likely that “reinforce” is seen as having two syllables. Reign and force reinforce each other.

Drawbridge page:
A drawbridge is a bridge where it stops enemies from getting into the castle. It can be raised or lowered so the enemies have to walk through the water and break the door down. A drawbridge is made out of wood and has a metal plate at the back to reign force it so it doesn’t burn all the way down. The drawbridge is usually for a castle with a mote.

“Epistemological Ontological Anarchism (this digitized linguistic material is for a leap unto the future—fractal conquest of the psi-matrix)”:
The urban environment proclaimed the orders and tastes of the ruling society just as violently as the newspapers. They maintain the coherent reign of poverty. Everything being disconnected, it is necessary to change everything by a meta-struggle, or nothing. It is necessary to link up with humanity, but sheep surrounds us. Like in every country it is once again the men of order who have rebelled. They have reign forced their power. They are able to aggravate the grotesqueness of the ruling conditions according to their will.

Natural Resource management NGO “Environmental Alert” report:
It is a leverage model for advancing the case for increased and commensurate investment as well as political support to the investment sector at the district and national levels. It is therefore a powerful tool for reign forcing EA and civil society lobby actions on increased ENR investments.
