Ignoring the many chemical variations, but with a nod to the mathematical,
my votes are the secretive underground tryst - 5 and 12

Not a vote yet - but definition numbers 14 and 15 came through one line too high on my computer. In case the text in this reply is garbled, I’ve attached a screen shot of what mine looked like with the offending numbers circled in red. Did this happen to anyone else?

I saw them all OK on the website though none of the lines were wrapped so
the last three went off the side of my screen.

Something seemed off with the Feds that wrapped. The numbers and text are off. You can see the effect below and it's easier to see because of the blank lines between defs. In the actual dispatch of the email those lines aren't thee do things run together.

Ha! And the blank lines disappear in the posted version so the only show in the text editor iOS uses to compose mail.

Actually, my original description was wrong. The numbers of definitions that wrap to more than one line came through on the last lines of their definitions, not their first lines. The last version was in larger type for some reason, so more definitions wrapped, so more numbers were affected by this.

Chris, as I mentioned above, I see Tim's original post OK on the website
but with no wrapping. And it looks the same when quoted in your message.

But I'm confused about "In the actual dispatch of the email those lines
aren't thee do things run together."

Damn autocorrect. When the lines wrap, for some reason the def number comes out on the def's last line. It's as though the def numbers and text are different fields.

Yes. The whole thing is formatted as a table, with cell contents vertically aligned with the bottom of the cells. Tim: Did this list start out as a spreadsheet?

When I paste a definition list from a spreadsheet into an e-mail, I first merge each number with its definition into a single field, so everything is in one spreadsheet column. I then paste the list without formatting to avoid this problem. Different combinations of software probably require different fixes.

Like cells of a table that align at the bottom not the top.

Efrem

Is this better?

1. a benediction.

2. [Obs. rare.] very pleasant.

3. one preeminent; a nonesuch. [Obs.]

4. a sandy tract or dune by the seashore.

5. [Gk] a tryst or clandestine meeting.

6. a tranquilizer employed in veterinary medicine.

7. a hypothetical situation based on science fiction.

8. Victorian mourning jewellery, usually made of jet.

9. a steep, high, or overhanging face of rock; a cliff.

10. a compound that can replace one or more amino acids in a
chemical reaction.

11. a mono-substituted benzene derivative, consisting of a CH3
group attached to a phenyl group.

12. a subsidiary tunnel in a mine, usu. for ventilation or
emergency access; (fig.) a secret entrance.

13. [Med.] exceptionally compatible; said of biologics destined
for transplant into a specific patient.

14. [Math.] a non-Abelian group that possesses exactly two of the
properties of an Abelian group (closure, associativity, commutativity,
inverse element, or identity element).

15. the formal response to the "prayer of humble access" [the
invitation to the communion rail in the Anglican eucharist] - literally
"through the amen" this is only found nowadays in extremely High or
traditionalist churches

16. a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate
and is a source of lithium. It occurs as colorless to yellowish, purplish,
or lilac kunzite, yellowish-green or emerald-green hiddenite, prismatic

I vote for 12 (the subsidiary tunnel) and 15 (the formal response to the
"prayer of humble access").

As I see the defs within Thunderbird, beginning with 10, the numbers are
misplaced. 11 is attached to what I think are the last few words of 10:
"phenyl group", and the pattern continues.

Tbird, in its copying of the original message into my reply, apparently
is taking the information as being in a table format, which may explain
something, or then again, maybe explains nothing.

I posted it as plain text rather than as a table.

Whatever I did, it seems to have made this thread disappear from the list
of topics on the Group Home Page on Google! I'll investigate further.

(I'm voting in response to the reposted list, the one with the number next
to the FIRST line of each def.)

I decline to vote for a definition containing more unfamiliar terms than
familiar ones. That eliminates a goodly number from consideration this
round. Not that it helps very much.

I'll try

2. [Obs. rare.]very pleasant.

and

3. one preeminent; a nonesuch. [Obs.]
