Here they are, 15 defs in all, only one of which came from my dictionary.
Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one),
before the deadline:
Friday, June 14th 2:00 PM Eastern Time.
New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round.
Don't look in a dictionary.

2: a closet
3: orach; saltbush
4: a muzzle for a horse
5: last segment of a crustacean
6: [geol.] the edge of a sinkhole

8: an oriental style of bell with a long cylindrical shape
9: an observational opening in a stone wall or fortification
10: [theol.] a warning from a heavenly being, e.g., an angel, to a person
11: [dent.] the process of removing plaque and debris from that part of a
tooth below the gum line
12: a walking stick or cane, having a ball-shaped handle usually made of
ivory, lacquered ebony, or silver
13: a legal notice or warning, either general, or for the special purpose
of summoning a third party to appear in a suit

I don't see my definition, Matt. I sent it to you a couple of hours before
the deadline.
Anyway, I'll vote for the unlikely 3 and 12.

All seem unlikely. I cast votes for 13 and 15 as the least so:

Matthew -
Interesting word and a short list. I'll try -
12: a walking stick or cane, having a ball-shaped handle usually made of
ivory, lacquered ebony, or silver
and
13: a legal notice or warning, either general, or for the special
purpose of summoning a third party to appear in a suit
Thanks,
Chuck

Vox pop has been pretty good the last couple of rounds, so I'll go with 12 and 13.

Nancy: You're right. Your definition did reach me timely, but somehow, I neglected to include it. Bouncing between home computer, office computer, and smart phone has its downside.
Two dealer points and an apology for you!
