Apologies for the delay...ran into some problems. (And apologies for the
dreadful spacing and fonts below. There doesn't seem to be anything I can
do about it.)
I am fairly disappointed that the Dictionary's oddly specific Russian oil
residue was sussed out as the actual definition by four perceptive players
and Johnny Barrs.
New dealer next round will be Tim Lodge whose beret attracted an unnatural
6. Real winner is Tony Abell whose pestle earned a natural 5.
The results follow. Take it away, Tim!

What a great, imaginative set of 21 definitions for little mazut. There
were no DQs, not even you-know-who, so everyone can have a whack. Please
vote for two, publicly, by 2 p.m. CDT (7 p.m. GMT) on Friday April 18.
Good luck!
