[Dixonary] Rnd 2420 enjambement DEFs UP - voting begins

[—Keith Hale—]

Sorry a little late, and no status update! Minor physical woes, sorted
now, i think.

I have no DQs this time!
I have 17 great definitions, and the crappy one the dictionary insisted i
include.
Please vote for two of them BY PUBLIC REPLY to this message before the
deadline.
Anyone is allowed to vote, whether or not the submitted a DEF.
* The deadline for voting is 6:00 PM (1800) US - Central Time Zone
on Wednesday, 3 July, 2013 CE.... or the appropriate time in your time zone.
*
If, upon perusing the list you are *sure that you can see the real
definition,*
PLEASE do not vote, - OR hit "Reply" at all.

Instead, please send me a private email to [ thoughtstorms (AT) gmail (DOT) com ]
telling me that you have to disqualify yourself. Keeps it fair, and
hopefully won't happen much.

I don't recognise anything here, so I think it's safe for me to vote,
despite what I said in my def message. I'll take the chess position and
the elided lines of poetry, 8 and 10, please.

Legs? Surely nothing so obvious.

When I take out all the leggy defs and leg-related ones (e.g. 3 which
leads to being legless) there's not many left.

I'll risk the bridge over troubled water and the bridge between couplets: 5
and 10.

Jim

11 as we are past due for an armor def, and 16 for no reason whatsoever

I'll take 5 and double the error with 10:

5>> the section of a bridge that is over water or other obstacles, excluding

10>> the running over of a sentence from one verse or couplet into another

I have no rational (or other) reasons, but I'll take wild guesses at:

and

> 12> imprisonment and restraint in shackles

Keith -

Hope you're fully recovered.

An interesting set of defs, from which I'll go with the popular

5> the section of a bridge that is over water or other obstacles,
excluding approach works.

and the literary

10> the running over of a sentence from one verse or couplet into
another so that closely related words fall in different lines.

Thanks,

Chuck
