Fellow Dixonarists,
The win on this round goes to Chris Carson in a walk. Even without the two points he earned for identifying the correct definition (3), his remaining natural 6 for "a metal tip or mounting on a scabbard or sheath" would have made him the next dealer. Second place goes to Dodi Schultz; her skipped heartbeat (17) got five votes. Johnny Barrs and Jim Hart followed with 4 points, both scores including 2 for identifying the correct meaning of the word. Full results follow:
1 to pawn. Submitted by: Madnick. Voted for by: Abell, Cunningham, Grieco. Score: 3+0=3.
2 a crown of woodland vegetation. Submitted by: Shefler. Voted for by: Madnick, Morgan. Score: 2+0=2.
3 traditional socks worn by Albanian men. Submitted by: The dictionary. Voted for by: Barrs, Carson, Hart. Score: D3.
4 yellow throated manakin [corapipo lutea]. Submitted by: Barrs. Voted for by: Schultz, Shepherdson. Score: 2+2=4.
5 a metal tip or mounting on a scabbard or sheath. Submitted by: Carson. Voted for by: Abell, Cunningham, Emery, Grieco, Lodge, Weltz. Score: 6+2=8.
6 [Romansh] a sort of altar (lit. _heart place_). Submitted by: Cunningham. Voted for by: Boswell, Shepherdson. Score: 2+0=2.
7 [Sp.] a short cape which only covers the shoulders. Submitted by: Emery. Voted for by: Bourne, Lodge, Weltz. Score: 3+0=3.
8 a breakfast casserole containing grits, cheese, scallions, and meat. Submitted by: Stevens. Voted for by: none. Score: 0+0=0.
