It sounds like a made-up word, doesn't it? I'm not really convinced by any of those, but I suppose
it must be one of them.

8 and 11, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[—Keith Hale—]

8 & 11 sound fun. I missed this round completely, i guess i snoozed too
much!

[Guerri Stevens]

I vote for 8 and 12.

My votes go to:

1: a ceremonial dish

and

9: _Chiefly Southwestern U.S._ A flat arid valley surrounded by
mountains
and draining into a shallow central lake

[Tony Abell]

Hmm....

I didn't receive the definition list.

Checking Google Groups, I can see Millie's post of the defs and 8 replies. But
in email, which is how I play, I received only four of those replies. So 5
messages never arrived (the initial post and 4 replies).

That's a pretty bad average.

Somehow this strikes me as geological, so I'll vote for 8 and 11.

[France International/Mike Shefler]

Oops. sorry, I meant 9 and 11 if it's possible to correct a vote. If
not, no problem.

I also play by e-mail and have received everything this round, so I don't
think it's the fault of either the dealer or GooGroups this time. Could be
your ISP, Tony? Or maybe something in your own setup that was
malfunctioning but has now recovered?

[James Zorbas]

9 and 16 seem to be suitable, but what do I really know?
