[Dixonary] CORAPE: it's voting time!

[Efrem Mallach]

Fellow Dixonarists,

Following are 18 definitions for the word CORAPE. One is from my good friends Merriam and Webster. The other 17 were proposed by members of this esteemed group. They are in order by character count. Depending on the font in which your e-mail is displayed and the mix of characters in the definitions, they may be be out of order by visual length.

1 to pawn.
2 a crown of woodland vegetation.
3 traditional socks worn by Albanian men.
4 yellow throated manakin [corapipo lutea].
5 a metal tip or mounting on a scabbard or sheath.
6 [Romansh] a sort of altar (lit. _heart place_).
7 [Sp.] a short cape which only covers the shoulders.
8 a breakfast casserole containing grits, cheese, scallions, and meat.
9 a large gall on a cactus caused by the egg-laying of the juringus moth.
10 a talismanic amulet worn by men of the El Molo tribe of Kenya when fishing.
11 a plant of the of the family Brassiciceae, cultivated for its oil-rich seed.
12 a hybrid of rape, grown as a crop to produce a higher yield of vegetable oil.
13 a variant of Claviceps fungi (ergot) that grows on barley in temperate regions.
14 a pharmaceutical diuretic, often prescribed with other drugs which control hypertension.
15 beads or carvings made of white coral flecked with pink, used to make jewelry and ornaments.
16 a brightly colored sash worn by the Mayan Indians of Guatemala during pre-Lenten festivities.
17 [Med.] a momentary interruption during a contraction of the cardiac muscle ("skipped heartbeat").
18 a traditional Polynesian method of celestial navigation which enabled long ocean voyages by canoe, esp. for migration or trade.

Please vote for two of these definitions that you think include the real one by reply to this message. The deadline is 10 pm on Monday, February 25, in the eastern U.S. As best as I can figure it out, that is also:

Western U.S.: 7 pm, Monday, Feb. 25
U.K.: 3 am, Tuesday, Feb. 26
Most of Continental Europe: 4 am, Tuesday, Feb. 26
Melbourne, Australia: 11 am, Tuesday, Feb. 26

(As usual, you may want to check my time conversions.)

Polish your crystal balls, dust off your tarot cards, unpack your ouija boards, and have fun!

Since I cannot begin to guess the word, I will go by picking two of my
favorite numbers, 5 and 7.


5 a metal tip or mounting on a scabbard or sheath.

7 [Sp.] a short cape which only covers the shoulders.
