[Dixonary] 2454 -- DAEDAL -- Results

[EnDash@aol.com]

We had a larger than usual number of definitions for this round, and
everyone participating voted, with the exception of Millie.

Dodi's fake def attracted votes like flypaper does to flies, and she wins
the next deal with 9 natural points.

Runner-up and "real" winner is Paul Keating, who garnered 7 votes with his
cleverly constructed fake designed to fool with its plausible-sounding
etymology.

Interesting. American Heritage has:

adj.
1. Ingenious and complex in design or function; intricate.
2. Finely or skillfully made or employed; artistic.
Latin daedalus, from Greek daidalos.
That made me think that 5 was the real def when I peeked after voting. It had me carefully counting votes for awhile.

[John Barrs]

Chris

look at OED too and several of the defs could fit and also could have
included "maze" becasue he (Daedalos from Gk dai skilled and dolos worker)
is reputed to have designed the maze at Minos among other things - it is
from Minos he was escaping when he designed the wings - I realized that
even mine (sundial) has been used of a wall mounted sundial - on a tourist
info leaflet to some arcane small town in UK and I am not sure whether it
may have meant that daedal was its particular name or its definition--- I
probably must have had that deep in the recesses of my mind when I
submitted my def although it didn't come to the surface until later. After
I DQ'd I looked up Daedalus and was fascinated both by the legends about
him and also by mazes labyrinths etc

Oops. No, that¹s a TRUE welcome back with a ³real winner². I read too
fast. Don¹t pay much attention when I¹m not the dealer, which is 99% of
the time.
