[Dixonary] Round 2320: BELLIBONE — Time to Vote!

[Dodi Schultz]

Sorry for the slight delay. Stopped to watch the evening news. Little of it
good: Drought all over the US. Crops dying, supermarket prices sure to
rise. And other downers. But we've got good news right here: Nineteen
definitions, one from an actual dictionary, for BELLIBONE. Pick the two you
think most likely and post your choices by direct reply to this message.

If you now spot what you know to be the real def, though, you can't vote.
In that case, DON'T hit "Reply". E-mail me privately to let me know you've
disqualified yourself.

Your deadline: Sunday 15 July, 11 PM EDT. That's 8 p.m. on the left coast,
9 and 10 p.m. in the N.S. middle, and Monday the 16th elsewhere: 4 a.m. in
the UK, 5 a.m. in the Netherlands, 1 p.m. in Melbourne.


1. a monk.

2. down-to-earth.

3. a just or good war.

4. _Obs._ spoils of war.

5. fundamentally warlike.

6. a habitual complainer.

7. loud, raucous; uncontrolled.

8. a woman excelling both in beauty and goodness.

9. personal gain derived from war; a prize-fighter.

10. a wide-belled soprano trombone with a graduated slide.

11. attachment to guide projectile through bore of firearm.

12. a lace used by carriage makers to cover seams and edges.

13. a large, long, usually ornate chest, popular in Renaissance Italy.

14. a saltwater fish, about 12" (30 cm) long, native to the Indian Ocean.

15. _Ital._ an exclamation acknowledging an act of extraordinary
kindness.

16. a pelagic sea anemone having a bell-shaped mouth ringed with short
tentacles.

17. a privileged status awarded to a Roman auxiliary soldier for
exemplary conduct in battle.

18. _UK law_ any personal gain from an act of war, generally escheated to
the Crown [Lat. _belli bonum_]

19. a young woman much concerned with fashion and appearance [late 18th
century, from Fr. _belle et bonne_]


[Guerri Stevens]

I'll vote for 8 because I married one and 19 because she wasn't.

Boy, 4 & 18 are close, huh? Hm. I'll take 18 & 12 though, please!

[Millie Morgan]

2 and 7 for me thanks Dodi:

Best wishes,
Millie

[Chris Carson]

I don't believe any of them. Too many wars, too many women, too many obvious looking derivations. Picking from the few odd ones, I'll do 1 and 6.

6 and 13, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[Jim Hart]

Drought? I've got more rain than I need. I was going to give it to London
but they seem to have enough, so you're welcome to it - drop by and collect
it at your convenience.

As for the game, too much bellicosity and too many belles, so eliminating
them narrows the field a bit. Of the rest I'll try some down-to-earth lace,
i.e. 2 and 12.

4. _Obs._ spoils of war.

18. _UK law_ any personal gain from an act of war, generally escheated to
the Crown [Lat. _belli bonum_]

13 and 18 for me.

My guesses are 10 and 16.


In a message dated 7/14/2012 8:19:50 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time,
DodiSchultz (AT) nasw (DOT) org writes:

10. a wide-belled soprano trombone with a graduated slide.

16. a pelagic sea anemone having a bell-shaped mouth ringed with short
tentacles.

Wow, four defs that all have something to do with gains from warfare. Does
that mean one is right and the others were near but not close enough to
combine? I am tending to think not, and I don't know how to pick from among
them, so they are all out.

Oh well... give me:

#12 - the coach upholstery &

#13 - the ornate chest (like Steve McQueen in "Papillon")

[Daniel B. Widdis]

13 and 19 please

In the absence of anything convincing, I'll take the two similar, derivative
choices, 8 and 19:

> 8. a woman excelling both in beauty and goodness.

> 19. a young woman much concerned with fashion and appearance [late 18th

[Chuck]

Dodi -

A nice collection. I'll go with -

6. a habitual complainer.

and

12. a lace used by carriage makers to cover seams and edges.

Thanks,

Chuck

[Dave Cunningham]

4 and 13 today sans any rational thoughts
