I hope this makes it to everyone. I'm emailing to Guerri just in case.
Kind of a short list this time, no doubt due to linking problems between the
various forums, but here are 17 daffynitions for XLOKK, only one of which is
real. Since I won't be looking at this forum on Sunday, the deadline for
voting for your 2 favorites is extended to 9 AM EDT Monday, September 19.
1. [Geol.] An area in which igneous rock has flowed up through very
small cracks in sedimentary rock, forming a mottled, bumpy pattern.
2. A clicking sound found in some African languages.
3. [Computer science] A mechanism to ensure that no other user has
access to the specified elements in the data collection. Short for
"exclusive lock".
4. A retained but no longer functional stylistic feature.
5. The name of and hence also a member of the Greek underground
resistance during WWII.
6. [Maltese] a narrow sea inlet between cliffs.
7. A secondary god of the Inca people.
8. A mixture of wild grasses used in a poultice.
9. A small shrub of Africa in the cedar family.
10. [Icelandic] geyser.
11. [Maltese] Southeast. A wind from the southeast (sirocco).
12. A recursive technique for determining the xth root of a number to as
many places as desired.
13. A dark green synthetic dyestuff, C20H19N3HCl, used to make a purple-red
dye employed in coloring textiles and leather and as a bacterial stain.
14. A white European in Swaziland [from the siSwati word for foreigner].
15. A shallow rill or mountain stream.
16. A heavy Afghan gun.
17. A strong alcoholic drink of the Far East, usually distilled from
fermented palm sap.
That's it. Good luck!
