Already voted? Guess what, you get to do it again. Here are 12 definitions
for denshauch, only one of which came from a respectable dictionary.

Vote for your two favorites no later than 10 AM EST, Thursday, November 10.

1. a method of choosing Viking leaders by trial of strength between the
contenders.

2. a kind of grape which causes looseness of the bowels.

3. happy exhaustion, such as occurs after a wedding or other joyous
event. (Penn. Dutch)

4. nice, hard to please ; esp. in regard to food.

5. an executioner or other professional murderer.

6. [Pa. Dutch] outdoors (_aus dem Haus_)

7. somewhat like a dunce.

8. the opening to a cave.

9. street urchin; precocious imp.

10. the N. Ger. tradition of ringing church bells on the return of a ship
from a long voyage.

11. a portal tomb.

12. a wolf-whistle.

I'm confused, Dave. Are you DQ, or did you vote for 2 and 4? If both, do we infer that either 2 or 4 is correct?

For some reason I thunk it might be Scots - but none are labeled that way,
but I got about as much sleep as you did :)

I'll take 2 for its oddness and 4 for its rare meaning for 'nice', plus the
strange punctuation:


> 2.Â* a kind of grape which causes looseness of the bowels.

> 4.Â* nice, hard to please ; esp. in regard to food.
