How do you use dottle in a sentence?

"Dottle" is an archaic word for a small particle of something, especially tobacco ash. It's not commonly used in modern English. Here are some ways to use it in a sentence, keeping in mind it sounds quite formal and might be better suited for creative writing or historical fiction:

* "The old man carefully tapped the dottle from his pipe, sending a wisp of smoke into the air."

* "The rug was stained with the dottle of countless cigars, a testament to the room's history."

* "Her eyes glistened with tears, and a dottle of ash from the nearby fireplace clung to her cheek."

However, if you're looking for a more common word to describe small particles, you could use words like:

* "The old man carefully tapped the ash from his pipe, sending a wisp of smoke into the air."

* "The rug was stained with the residue of countless cigars, a testament to the room's history."

* "Her eyes glistened with tears, and a speck of ash from the nearby fireplace clung to her cheek."
