GATE

   GAT Extended?  Based on IT.

   [Sammet 1969, p. 139].

gate

    A low-level digital logic component.  Gates
   perform Boolean functions (e.g. AND, NOT), store
   bits of data (e.g. a flip-flop), and connect and
   disconnect various parts of the overall circuit to control the
   flow of data (tri-state buffer).

   In a CPU, the term applies particularly to the buffers that
   route data between the various functional units.  Each gate
   allows data to flow from one unit to another or enables data
   from one output onto a certain bus.

Gate
   (1.) Of cities, as of Jerusalem (Jer. 37:13; Neh. 1:3; 2:3;
   3:3), of Sodom (Gen. 19:1), of Gaza (Judg. 16:3).
   
     (2.) Of royal palaces (Neh. 2:8).
   
     (3.) Of the temple of Solomon (1 Kings 6:34, 35; 2 Kings
   18:16); of the holy place (1 Kings 6:31, 32; Ezek. 41:23, 24);
   of the outer courts of the temple, the beautiful gate (Acts
   3:2).
   
     (4.) Tombs (Matt. 27:60).
   
     (5.) Prisons (Acts 12:10; 16:27).
   
     (6.) Caverns (1 Kings 19:13).
   
     (7.) Camps (Ex. 32:26, 27; Heb. 13:12).
   
     The materials of which gates were made were,
   
     (1.) Iron and brass (Ps. 107:16; Isa. 45:2; Acts 12:10).
   
     (2.) Stones and pearls (Isa. 54:12; Rev. 21:21).
   
     (3.) Wood (Judg. 16:3) probably.
   
     At the gates of cities courts of justice were frequently held,
   and hence "judges of the gate" are spoken of (Deut. 16:18; 17:8;
   21:19; 25:6, 7, etc.). At the gates prophets also frequently
   delivered their messages (Prov. 1:21; 8:3; Isa. 29:21; Jer.
   17:19, 20; 26:10). Criminals were punished without the gates (1
   Kings 21:13; Acts 7:59). By the "gates of righteousness" we are
   probably to understand those of the temple (Ps. 118:19). "The
   gates of hell" (R.V., "gates of Hades") Matt. 16:18, are
   generally interpreted as meaning the power of Satan, but
   probably they may mean the power of death, denoting that the
   Church of Christ shall never die.
