So much for German root words. In retrospect, I probably should have
combined Mike's def with the real one but I thought the two defs were
different enough to leave them separate. 20/20 hindsight.
The winner of round 2401 and new dealer is Mike Shefler, whose definition
"The desire to wander afar; restlessness." received 7 votes, plus 2 points
for guessing the correct def.
Hugo Kornelis takes coveted second place with 6 points. Millie Morgan is
runner-up with 4 points.
The true definition was 8: "The migratory drive in animals, especially
birds." (AHD 5), which 7 perceptive players guessed.

Submitted by: Graham, who scores natural 1.
2. A strait; a narrow tract of water, where the tide, or a
current, flows and reflows with violence, as the ancient
fight of this name between Eubæa and Bæotia. Hence, a flux
and reflux. Votes from: Graham and Hale
Submitted by: Widdis, who scores natural 2.
3. The desire to wander afar; restlessness. Votes from: Barrs,
Dixon, Hart, Kornelis, Lodge,
Schultz and Stevens

noise pollution. (2007) Vote from: Bourne

invasive and ineradicable. No votes

with whom one identifies. Votes from: Boswell, Mallach and
Stevens

Abell, Barrs, Boswell, Hart, Kornelis,
Morgan and Shefler Real definition from AHD 5
9. In chess, the opposite of a zugzwang (q.v.): a
situation in which any move will leave one's opponent in an untenable
(zugzwang) position. No votes
