View Full Version : [Dixonary] Rd. 2390: New Word: Trabea

I made up the craziest, most off-the-wall definition for Kollyva that I
could think of (spies in a Russian bakery?) and still I am the dealer.
Three back-to-backs ties my old record from my first stint in the game.
You guys sure know how to welcome a fella back.

Anyway, the new word, found when trying to find a word for a cryptic
crossword is **trabea**.

Please submit your off-the-wall definitions to me at nancygoat at gmail.com
by 11 a.m. CDT on Tuesday March 19. That would be 4 p.m. GMT and you
others in the rest of the world, please figure it out from there.

And, please, any DQs as soon as possible.

Happy playing! (grumble.)

Nancy

trabea: steep irregular ridge.

Good luck with the deal!

Shoot. Thanks for letting me know. My mind was obviously on other things. <sigh>

Good crown, but could you shrink it a bit? I have to scroll to see the
whole thing in my Tbird window!

GREAT crown, Steve!

But Guerri, it shows up fine in my Tbird, with room to spare. Is it Tbird,
or the size of your monitor screen?

Here is a smaller version. It was dry-clean only but I washed it.

It is probably the size of my Tbird window more than anything else. The
new version of Tbird takes up a lot of screen real estate. I don't, and
never have, run it full screen and I finally decided to reduce the size
a bit more, but even with the former size, I suspect the crown would not
have fit in the message window area.

I had forgotten that I could zoom out; that lets me see the whole crown,
which is really elegant.

Are you running full screen Dodi?

The crown is great now, but the message text was very small. Never mind
the text, though, because when delivering the crown, you are unlikely to
include any text.

I wonder whether the newer players understand the significance of the crown?
