Fellow players,
The winner of Round 2662 was Joseph Wright’s 1898 English Dialect Dictionary. Six players divined that a quey is a heifer (definition 8), i.e., a cow of under three years of age who has not yet had a calf.
Sadly, Mr. Wright is no longer with us - he would have turned 160 a few weeks ago - so he can’t deal the next round. Among those who can, Dan Widdis earned five natural points with his #13, rock between two mountain walls (slightly paraphrased), and is the next dealer. Messrs. Carson, Shefler and Barrs share traditional “winnah” honors with 4, all three being among those who voted for the real definition. And a special shout-out to Judy Madnick, whose rough limestone (#6) was runner-up in terms of the number of votes it got.
Full results:
1. wanton; lascivious. From Keating, P. who voted 3, 6. Voted for by: Lodge.. Score: 1.
2. a type of flat noodle. From Cunningham, D. who did not vote. Voted for by: Graham. Score: 1.
3. stirred up emotionally; upset. From Carson, C. who voted *8*, 13. Voted for by: Keating, Lodge. Score: 4.
4. an ornamental knot at the end of a cord or rope. From Hart, J. who voted 13, 14. Voted for by: Schultz, Stevens. Score: 2.
5. a mild, white cheese spread made of skimmed milk. From Graham, S. who voted 2, 15. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.
6. rough limestone country with underground drainage. From Madnick, J. who voted 7, 13. Voted for by: Barrs, Hale, Keating. Score: 3.
7. a lateen-rigged fishing vessel of the eastern Mediterranean. From Shefler, M. who voted *8*, 13. Voted for by: Madnick, Naylor. Score: 4.
8. a heifer; a young cow of up to three years or until she has had a calf. From Dictionary who could not vote. Voted for by: Abell, Barrs, Carson, Schultz, Shefler, Stevens. Score: D6.
9. [obs.] a measure of weight in France before the Revolution, equivalent to 50 livres. From Lodge, T. who voted 1, 3. Voted for by: Naylor. Score: 1.
10. [China] a heavy wooden frame or board worn round the neck of a prisoner as a punishment. From Naylor, S. who voted 7, 9. Voted for by: Bourne. Score: 1.
11. [Heraldic] a tail [OF. queue or coe: always in pairs; _lion rampant rouge, double quey_]. From Barrs, J. who voted 6, *8*. Voted for by: Bourne, Hale. Score: 4.
12. a piece of clay shaped to form a handle when attached to a thrown pot to form a pitcher or jug. From Bourne, T. who voted 10, 11. Voted for by: Widdis. Score: 1.
13. a deep, wide fissure between two buttresses in a mountain face, sometimes containing a stream or scree. From Widdis, D. who voted 12, 14. Voted for by: Abell, Carson, Hart, Madnick, Shefler. Score: 5.
14. a shock-absorbing bumper at loading dock doorways, so that trucks can safely back all the way to the dock leveler. From Hale, K. who voted 6, 11. Voted for by: Hart, Widdis. Score: 2.
15. a small tropical bird (_Vireo flaveola_) native to the West Indies and southern Florida, distinguished by its black-and-white striped crown and bright yellow-orange breast; also called the Bananaquit. From Schultz, D. who voted 4, *8*. Voted for by: Graham. Score: 3.
No definition from Abell, T. who voted *8*, 13. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 2..
No definition from Stevens, G. who voted 4, *8*. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 2.
Over to you, Dan! And a Happy Thanksgiving to all the U.S players.
