  1. Kom Bine (arvester)


  2. Com as in dot com/ .com

    Bine rhyming with vine.

    Combine

  3. COMbine.

  4. com bine

  5. As a bit of trivia, the name combine was a shortening of "combined harvester".  In the good old days, small grain crops were shocked (cut and bundled) and then transported to a stationary threshing machine run by a steam engine in the early days before gasoline power became common.  The combine cuts and threshes the grain all in one operation, hence the name "combined harvester".
