I also found this in the description of a web site (haven't had time to check the lengthy document to see how it's actually used):

Most shipyards and ship repair facilities already have the vast majority of the ... Freshwater and Saltwater Wash-down of Ship • Graving Dock, On-Block Area, Building Ways ...

I don't normally nish cap departments or working titles, but this is one of "those" depos that I'm forced to nish cap this stuff, so I'm thinking On-Block Area.  I hate it when transcripts get this nitpicky.

Thanks for your help, LeAnne.  Much appreciated.

I think it's on block.  I found this online:  "Block assembly in shipbuilding is mainly concerned with cutting and welding operations to construct a block. A block is composed of several steel plates and sections with various sizes and shapes."

on block?  en bloc?  something else?

Witness works as a shipbuilder.  There's an area of the ship called "on block."  He spelled it o-n b-l-o-c-k, but he also spelled Pena P-n-a and simvastatin s-i-m-i-b-a-t-i-n, so I'm not going to rely on his spelling capabilities.

Has anyone heard this term before and know what the correct spelling is?

Thanks, Janet. That's the closest I've found to what it sounds like. However, even though Scrabble says it's a legitimate word for the game, I can't find any valid definition or notation of the word "emulsionizing." I'm going to have to assume he's mispronouncing it. I appreciate your input.

I think it's emulsionizing wax.

Holy crow! Have I got a good one for you guys. The witness is talking about a job he had in production at a wax company. He says, "It was production. It was multionizing wax." Phonetically -- mul shun eye zing. Don't know if "multionizing" (or whatever) refers to the process being done to the wax during production or the type of wax he was producing. Anyone have any ideas?

I usually find most things from Google.  Sometimes, you have to try 2 or 3 different spellings.

I found it by going to google and putting in your phonetic spelling, then it came up with about four or five words asking if that's what I was lookiing for.

With Search Master it took less than a minute to find it.  With * as a wild card, all I had to do was type in d*z*l*n into the medical drugs category.  Adozelesin was at the top of the list.  BTW, it's not capitalized.  From there do a Google search to find out  information about the drug.

Y'all are amazing. Where did you find Adozelesin? I don't think I've seen it on any of the lists I've scoured. Either that or my eyes just started to glaze over and I missed it. I'm going to include this in my notes so my court reporter can make the final call. Thanks so much for your help.
