[Dixonary] BYCOKET defs

[Dave Cunningham]

Note: BYCOKET is the most common English spelling of this word. If anyone
asks, they will get a guaranteed 2 total points I appear to have found a
typo - but it pronounced as though it were a "k" so should not affect many
defs..

1. a Slovak constable.

2. erratic; unpredictable.

3. A recumbent tricycle.

4. one of the rare earth elements.

5. croquet played on bicycles [mod. rules]

6. small flat moulding around a column

7. [Fin.] a highly committed Argentine tango dancer.

8. A Swedish three-legged folding stool used by hunters.

8. an early short-barreled pocket pistol intended for self-defence

10. a two-masted sailing vessel formerly used for coastal trading in the
Baltic.

11. an ornamental cap with peaks at both front and back worn in the 15c.

12. a saponaceous camphorated liniment, usually containing essential
oils.

13. Belarusian style shallow fried potato pancakes made of grated
potatoes.

14. Any of several small African deer of the genus _Mazama_, having short
unbranched horns.

15. An Estonian pastry of twisted dough, formed into a ring and topped
with honey and chopped nuts.

16. a large hawk of eastern Europe, _Accipiter bicolor_, dark brown with a
speckled breast of a distinctive reddish hue.
17. an outer garment of reindeer hide worn by the Sami (Lapp) people of
northern Finland and northeastern Russia.
18. a cosmetic preparation unique to the Incas; made by reducing guinea
pig blood to a thick paste and used to
protect the skin against the sun.

Vote for two of the defs without looking anything up before 6 p.m. EST on
Monday 18 February. :ong delay is due to me possibly being out of town on
my birthday.

Noting that "bykoket" is, indeed, a spelling of the word - which I just
double-checked.

"Most common"? There's a dictionary that supposes this is a word common
enough to have two English spellings? And it should have been /more/ common.

Sorry. It's one of those grumpy days.

I'll try:

8. A Swedish three-legged folding stool used by hunters.

and

14. Any of several small African deer of the genus _Mazama_, having short
unbranched horns.

Dave,

From a curiously varied list I'll select -

10. a two-masted sailing vessel formerly used for coastal trading in the
Baltic.

and

11. an ornamental cap with peaks at both front and back worn in the 15c.

Thanks,

Chuck
