There will likely be some criticism directed at me for not combining
definitions 6 and 14, because they in fact are describing the exact same plant
or food. I decided not to combine them because the particular wording of the
dictionary definition was so different from the submitted exact definition
that they could reasonably be assumed to be describing two different things.
In addition, I always dislike combining a player's definition with the real
one, since it prevents the player from earning two points for guessing the
real definition.

In this case, John Barrs thought this word, which he did not know, sounded
Indian, so he submitted a definition for the lentil he had recently enjoyed as
part of an Indian meal. He then voted for his own definition plus the real
one. His remarkable cleverness has earned him the deal with 7 unnatural
points. Mike Shefler is the real winner with 5 natural.

Take it away Johnny!
