[Dixonary] ROUND 2721 - VAGITUS - VOTE NOW!

[Judy Madnick]

Here are 15 definitions for the word VAGITUS, but only one is correct. Please send your votes (by responding to this email) for what you believe are the two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is Friday, July 1, at 8 a.m. As usual, I will let you determine the time in your time zone. :-)

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition. The formatting was fine in a test message sent to myself, so I hope you all receive it the way it was sent.

Good luck!
1. A strong creative impulse.
2. (Phon.) a stopped consonant made with tone from the larynx while the mouth organs are closed at some point; a sonant mute, as b, d, g hard.
3. The corpus of the vagus nerve, q.v.
4. [Lat.] An edict forbidding those who are not Roman citizens from entering the Forum on major feast days (feriae conceptivae).
5. The foundation beneath the track of a railroad.
6. A new-born baby's first cry.
7. Made-up word, describing the habit of managers and politicians to talk in vague language and nonsense words as if it is a contagious disease.
8. [Heb] One of the meals eaten at the three great feasts; Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles.
9. An uncommon desire to travel; "wanderlust".
10. [Rare] a hidden entrance to a cave.
11. A word coined for something that has no specific name to make it appear scientific.
12. [obs] The act of begging for a living, i.e. mendicancy.
13. A retired Roman legionary who was granted citizenship in return for being available when required to train local defence forces.
14. A loss of balance caused by paralysis of the cilia of the inner ear.
15. Blue-green quartz containing cuprous sulfate.

Hi Judy,

I'll try my luck with one of the defs from ancient Rome and one of the
fake word defs:

4. [Lat.] An edict forbidding those who are not Roman citizens from
entering the Forum on major feast days (/feriae conceptivae/).

11. A word coined for something that has no specific name to make it
appear scientific.


Cheers,
Hugo
