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!

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.
