[Dixonary] Round 2445 Voting Time: HIRSEL

[Efrem Mallach]

Here are seventeen definitions for HIRSEL: sixteen of them lovingly hand-crafted out of whole cloth by your fellow players, one from a well-regarded dictionary. They are in order by character count (which may not correspond to visual length because of differences in character width). Please vote for two of them by public reply to this message:

1. a barber
2. a hermaphrodite calf
3. a type of hand truck
4. furry; covered with fur
5. a small curl or wavelet
6. the grabbing part of a self-tailing winch
7. a broad dagger formerly worn at the girdle
8. the stock on a farm or under the care of a shepherd
9. a wall-hung decoration such as a picture or tapestry
10. the possession and use of one’s own property or land
11. the white-tailed sea eagle Haliaeetus Albicilla (Scot.)
12. the young of the European hirsch, a member of the deer family
13. one of several millet grains found in the developing countries
14. a gift to express good wishes at the beginning of an enterprise
15. goat-like; having a goatish smell; of, like or pertaining to smelly goats
16. the last money received by a person closing a business (see _hansel_, the first money or gift on opening a business)
17. an 8′ string organ stop composed of two pipes for each note, one being tuned slightly sharp to create an undulating effect

New players are eligible to vote, as are old players who did not submit a definition for any reason at all.

The deadline for submissions is, as previously noted, a bit long: 8 pm UK time on Thursday, October 3. My obligations for that day include dinner. I should be able to excuse myself early, pleading jet lag, but I won't know until it happens. If it's past the official deadline but you haven't seen the results yet, feel free to vote. I'll accept everything that comes in before I tabulate the votes, which will not be before that time but may be later..

I think this deadline corresponds to the following times in other parts of the world:

Continental Europe Summer Time: 9 pm, Thursday, Oct. 3
U.S. Eastern Daylight Time: 3 pm, Thursday, Oct. 3
U.S. Central Daylight Time: 2 pm, Thursday, Oct. 3
U.S. Pacific Daylight Time: noon, Thursday, Oct. 3
Australian Eastern Standard Time: 5 am, Friday, October 4

Please confirm the conversion that applies to your time zone before relying on it. This is my first from the UK, though I was in Amsterdam for round 2374. Why do these always hit when I'm in another time zone?

Efrem, how was your message formatted? Usually I state my vote, quote
yours, deleting all but the two definitions I'm voting for?

I got something odd trying to scroll down and delete stuff. It almost
looked like a table, borders forming around each definition.

Pasted the definitions in from an Excel spreadsheet: one column wide, 17 rows long. It looked like a table because it was one, at least originally. Probably won't do that again, but I was really pressed for time yesterday.

And now, boarding BA 238 ...

I'll take my chances with 5 and 15 this time:

> 15. goat-like; having a goatish smell; of, like or pertaining to smelly goats

Thanks,

I should be able to excuse myself early, pleading jet lag, but I won't know until it happens. If it's past the official deadline but you haven't seen the results yet, feel free to vote. I'll accept everything that comes in before I tabulate the votes, which will not be before that time but may be later.

That's weird. Usually I just delete the ones I haven't chosen. But those
blue lines (from your spreadsheet, I guess) couldn't be deleted.

Anyway, my guesses are 4 and 14.
