Possible definitions for wabbly
abbey
Complex of buildings housing a monastery or convent under the direction of an abbot or abbess, serving the needs of a self-contained religious community. The first abbey was Monte Cassino in Italy, founded in 529 by St. Benedict of Nursia. The cloister linked the most important elements of an abbey together. The dormitory was often built over the dining hall on the E side of the cloister and linked to the central church. The W side of the cloister provided for public dealings, with the gatehouse controlling the only opening to the outer, public courtyard. On the S side of the cloister were a central kitchen, brewery, and workshops. The novitiate and infirmary were housed in a building with its own chapel, bathhouse, dining hall, kitchen, and garden. In the 12th-13th cent., many abbeys were built throughout Europe, especially in France.
warbler
Any songbird of almost 350 Old World species (family Sylviidae) or about 120 New World species (family Parulidae, see wood warbler).

They occur mainly from Europe and Asia to Africa and Australia, but a few (e.g., the gnatcatcher) live in the Americas. They are drab greenish, brownish, or black and 3.5-10 in. (9-26 cm) long. See also blackcap, blackpoll warbler, gnatcatcher, wood warbler.
