What does "coot or transparent material" mean?

edit

The awning article deals with "a light structure of aluminium, iron or steel, possibly coot or transparent material". What is "coot" supposed to mean in this context? Surely it doesn't refer to the bird called coot. Coot (disambiguation) does not offer an explanation either. --Head (talk) 19:59, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a typo for "clear". SinisterLefty (talk) 20:07, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
