[Dixonary] Round 2630 vote for asperatus

[Mike Shefler]

Here are 19 well though out definitions for asperatus. Hidden among them
is the real def. Vote for your two favorites no later than 5 PM EDT,
Wednesday, August 5.
For some reason, Froma's program numbered the defs from 2 to 20. So there
is no def #1. And no, I didn't leave out the real def.
2. a formation made up of well-defined, wavelike structures in the
underside of the cloud, more chaotic and with less horizontal
organization than undulatus. It is characterized by localized waves
in the cloud base, either smooth or dappled with smaller features,
sometimes descending into sharp points, as if viewing a roughened sea
surface from below.
3. a process for the environmentally friendly disposal of human and
animal corpses that reduces the remains to a dry, organic powder
using extremely cold temperatures and mechanical vibration.
4. Water-worn or rough broken stones; broken bricks, etc., used in
coarse masonry, or to fill up between the facing courses of walls.
5. gold coloured.
6. _rare._ exasperated.
7. quivering [from the quaking aspen tree, populus tremuloides[USA],
p.tremula Eurasia and other sps]
8. thin dry scales or scabs on the body.
9. _obs._ (a goal) once sought.
10. a primitive grinding-wheel operated by a foot treadle.
11. a band of warriors who escort a prince; a county or shire.
12. inclined to melancholy.
13. a ceremony for the redemption of sin.
14. a mechanical device used to enhance or supplement natural breathing.
15. the fluid removed from the body cavity when treating a ruptured
organ.
16. the chisel-point arrow used by Roman warriors.
17. invective.
18. hopeless; despairing.
19. a weight or mass that curtails movement; an impediment.
20. a state of anxious anticipation.

4 as being part of a long-running joke now <g> and 6 as saying an

I'll join the cloud crowd, mostly for the comparison to undulatus. And I
like the quivering aspens.

Despite vox pop, I don’t believe #4. I appreciate the running joke, having won the deal not many rounds ago by making up a different definition that involved rubble between walls, but I don’t believe it. Sorry.. (Hopefully enough of us have voted by now that this comment won’t affect the outcome.)

The other half of vox pop, on the other hand, is at least possible. And the medical ones sound right.

So, I’ll go for 2 and 15.

I guess I'll go along with the crowd and add a point to the pile
accumulating for our next dealer: #2 . . .
and for my second vote, a random #13.
