Thanks, bibblebub.

For some reason, I was ignoring the word "solid" and was stuck on arts for oils.

Thanks, HowardKennitby.

I found meaning of keen. But ken as bordello is missing from dictionaries I checked.

From Collins: Keen defined as (mainly British) extremely low so as to be competitive ⇒ "keen prices"

To bibblebub: Now you know that ken is it, without ever visiting a bordello.

[bibblebub]

aye, now i ken it's ken

I don't have OED or Chambers. I use OneLook online.
