[Dixonary] Round 2426: New Word: FORAMEN (resend)

[Efrem Mallach]

One player just told me that this announcement appeared as part of the thread for the previous round (INRO). It didn't happen to me, but I'm sending it again, from a different e-mail address, in the hope that it doesn't happen again to those who had that problem. There are no changes to the content; the word and the deadline are the same. If you got the other one, you can ignore this.

************************************************** *************************************

The word for Round 2426 is:

***********
FORAMEN
***********

As usual, capitalization is not significant.

Please send creative, convincing definitions (or confessions that you know this word) to emallach (AT) verizon (DOT) net. Don't reply to this message, since replies will go to the whole group.

The official deadline for submitting definitions is 9 pm on Tuesday, July 23, in the eastern U.S. I think that's 6 pm in the western U.S., 2 am on Wednesday the 24th in the U.K., 3 am Wednesday in most of continental Europe, 11 am Wednesday in Melbourne, and noon Wednesday in Vladivostok, but you may wish to check your own relevant conversion to be certain.

New players are welcome. The rules, for new players or anyone else, are at www.dixonary.net.

And now - let the round begin!

The second try for a word for Round 2426, after FORAMEN didn't make the cut, is:

***********
PREE
***********

As usual, capitalization is not significant.

Please send creative, convincing definitions (or confessions that you know this word) to emallach (AT) verizon (DOT) net. Don't reply to this message, since replies will go to the whole group.

The deadline for submitting definitions is unchanged from the previous word: 9 pm on Tuesday, July 23, in the eastern U.S. I still think that's 6 pm in the western U.S., 2 am on Wednesday the 24th in the U.K., 3 am Wednesday in most of continental Europe, 11 am Wednesday in Melbourne, and noon Wednesday in Vladivostok, but you may wish to check your own relevant conversion to be certain.

New players are welcome. The rules, for new players or anyone else, are at www.dixonary.net.

And now - I hope, this time - let the round begin!

Fellow Dixonarists,

Following are 19 definitions for the word PREE. One is from my buddy Random "Randy" House. The other 18 were proposed by members of this esteemed group, who will remain anonymous for the next 45 or so hours. They have been reformatted slightly for consistency, per section 3(c) of the rules (page 4) but are otherwise unedited, and are in order by character count. Depending on the font in which your e-mail is displayed, the mix of characters in the definitions, and the random order by which Excel sorted definitions of equal length, they may not appear to be in order by visual length.

1. a smock.
2. to search.
3. a boat-builder's hammer.
4. tithe; toll; honorarium.
5. [Scot.] spindrift; spume.
6. [OE] Leek. (fm Dutch: prei)
7. open plain; open space near a town.
8. a false note played on the bagpipes.
9. rough; in its raw state; unpolished.
10. an island on the Indonesian south coast.
11. an open grassy area, esp. on a mountain-side.
12. [Scot., N. Eng.] a test, trial, or taste; a test by sampling
13. hostility or antipathy; also, a tendency to hold others in contempt.
14. the left-over NaOH solution from the Bayer method of processing bauxite into aluminum.
15. an animal burrow that has been filled with organic or mineral material from another soil horizon.
16. the prize awarded on completion of a knightly quest or tourney (ME from OF, as in _prie du jour_)
17. large, irregularly shaped mineral grains occurring in foliated metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss.
18. in India, cosmetics, esp. those ceremonial pigments, lotions, etc. used to adorn the face and hands of a bride.
19. an anhydrous clay found in the Atacama Desert with 2.85 times the absorbency of normal clay used for oil cleanup, kitty litter, etc.

Please vote for two of these definitions (ideally, one of which you think is the real one) by public reply to this message. The deadline is 6 pm on Thursday, July 25, in the eastern U.S. I think that's 3 pm in the western U.S.., 11 pm in the U.K., midnight between Thursday and Friday in most of continental Europe, 8 am Friday the 26th in Melbourne, and 9 am Friday in Vladivostok. As usual, you may want to check my time conversions.

Polish your crystal balls, dust off your tarot cards, unpack your ouija boards, and have fun!

Efrem

P.S. Congratulations to our Commonwealth players on the birth of your likely future king, though I realize you (probably) had little to do with it.

Hi Efrem,

Definitions 8 and 12 (the sampling of a false note) strangely appeal to me.

Cheers,
Hugo

just in case it is an open and shut case I will take the "open"s #7 and
#11 for my votes

re the headine "a baby, a prince, a king" the news coverage has been more
than a little OTT here in the homelands so I hate to think what it has been
like in places (often surprising places) where they value the institution
somewhat more than we appear to do

metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss.

The other 18 were proposed by members of this esteemed group, who will remain anonymous for the next 45 or so hours. They have been reformatted slightly for consistency, per section 3(c) of the rules (page 4) but are otherwise unedited, and are in order by character count. Depending on the font in which your e-mail is displayed, the mix of characters in the definitions, and the random order by which Excel sorted definitions of equal length, they may not appear to be in order by visual length.

[Efrem Mallach]

Fellow Dixonarists,

The true definition of PREE was #12: a Scots and Northern England term for "a test, trial, or taste; a test by sampling." It comes, distantly, from the same root as the verb "to prove."

The round ended in a two-way tie between Judy Madnick and Millie Morgan, both with five natural points. (It was a four-way tie at four points until Dodi came through with a last-minute vote for Judy's and Millie's definitions.) Judy can be thankful that she didn't do too well in the last few rounds, since Millie's higher rolling score makes her the next dealer.

The results:

1. a smock. From: G. Stevens. Voted: 4, 8. Score: 0+0=0

2. to search. From: K. Hale. Voted for by Morgan. Voted: 16, 19. Score: 1+0=1

8. a false note played on the bagpipes. From: M. Shefler. Voted for by Stevens, Kornelis, Carson, Widdis. Voted: 11, 15. Score: 4+0=4

9. rough; in its raw state; unpolished. From: T. Abell. Voted for by Weltz, Morgan. Did not vote. Score: 2+0=2

10. an island on the Indonesian south coast. From: C. Emery. Did not vote. Score: 0+0=0

11. an open grassy area, esp. on a mountain-side. From: T. Bourne. Voted for by Dixon, Shefler, Barrs. Voted: 4, 7. Score: 3+0=3

12. [Scot., N. Eng.] a test, trial, or taste; a test by sampling From: Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2e. Voted for by Kornelis, Widdis. Did not vote. Score: D2

13. hostility or antipathy; also, a tendency to hold others in contempt. From: N. Shepherdson. Voted: 6, 7. Score: 0+0=0

14. the left-over NaOH solution from the Bayer method of processing bauxite into aluminum. From: D. Weltz. Voted for by Graham. Voted: 3, 9. Score: 1+0=1

17. large, irregularly shaped mineral grains occurring in foliated metamorphic rocks such as schist or gneiss. From: C. Carson. Voted for by Lodge, Madnick, Graham. Voted: 8, 15. Score: 3+0=3

18. in India, cosmetics, esp. those ceremonial pigments, lotions, etc. used to adorn the face and hands of a bride. From: D. Schultz. Voted for by Boswell. Voted: 7, 15. Score: 1+0=1

19. an anhydrous clay found in the Atacama Desert with 2.85 times the absorbency of normal clay used for oil cleanup, kitty litter, etc. From: S. Graham. Voted for by Hale. Voted: 14, 17. Score: 1+0=1

-. D. Widdis: No definition submitted. Voted: 8, 12. Score: 0+2=2*

-. M. Grieco: No definition submitted. Voted: 5, 6. Score: 0+0=0

As usual, please bring any errors to my attention so I can correct them. Barring errors that affect the top scores, Millie - who recently dealt rounds 2408, 2415, 2417, and 2422 - is on the spot once again. As they say in the Navy and picked up by Star Trek: Millie, you have the conn. I hope you have a big collection of words!

With thanks for the opportunity to have been of service,

Efrem
