There was a definite Japanese flavour to these defs! However, in keeping
with the origin of the word, we have an Antipodean one-two, with Shani
Naylor taking the next deal with 5 votes for her sacred exclusion zone, and
Jim Hart being the real winner with 4 votes for his small-scale spirits.
To my surprise, nobody guessed that the real meaning of YIDAKI is a
didgeridoo. John Barrs happened to have looked up didgeridoo for his
granddaughter on the day I posted the word, and so was DQ.
Over to you, Shani!
