[Dixonary] Round 2538 LEPTOSOME voting time

[Millie Morgan]

Here are 17 definitions of LEPTOSOME only one of which came from a
dictionary.
Perhaps you will find them as bewildering as I certainly would have if I
didn't already
know which is the real one which of course I do <g>

Please send your votes for two of them by public reply to this message
before the deadline :
9:00am Sun 31/8 Melb AEST
4:00pm Sat 30/8 PDT
6:00pm Sat 30/8CDT
7:00pm Sat 30/8 EDT
11:59pm Sat 30/8 BST
1:00am Sun 31/8 CEST


Happy mulling
--Millie

I'll take two that point backwards, 5 and 17:

5: A chromosome whose origins can be traced to a specific ancestor,
usually two or more generations removed

17: The hindmost or trailing part of something

I could wait and carefully analyse where and how the votes are falling. Or
I could get it wrong immediately with butterflies and surgery - 14 and 16

After first narrowing it down from 16 implausible definitions to four or five implausible definitions, I'll try implausible definitions 15 and 16.

(I think this group of defs sets a new high for total number of words I don't understand.)

This one's a real baffler. With no clue at all, I'll try:
