I had an earnest wish and fervent desire that no one would vote for number
6, but two perceptive players guessed that that was the true meaning of
UTINAM. John Barrs, who was DQ, told me that it occurs a number of times
in the Vulgate. Dodi Schulttz is our new dealer, with 8 unnatural points
for her Korean squid. Paul Keating is the real winner with 7 votes for his
friendship symbol.

Take it away, Dodi!

I was one of the two, although it doesn't say so under that def. Not
perception, I'm afraid; sheer accident.

Congratulations to Paul, whose well-crafted def actually surpassed mine.

New word coming up shortly.

Dodi

I've been otherwise engaged all day and have only just read your message.
I'm sorry that I failed to show you on the list of those who voted for 4
and 6, but your votes were correctly dealt with in the points calculation.
Johhny B pointed out that I had also shown the dictionary as voting - in
fact I'd incorrectly allocated Tim B's votes to the dictionary. Neither
mistake changes the numerical results, so I won't repost the results.
