Now that the initial bout of festivities is over (we still have New Year to
look forward to) things here will revert to near normal. I hope you've all
had a good break.


We've ended up with 12 defs of the word ZECCHIN, one of which came from my
dictionary - the rest are the product of your fevered imaginations. Please
vote for your two favourites by public reply to this message before the
deadline, which is:


10:00 GMT on Wednesday 28th December
11:00 CET
5:00 AM EST
2:00 AM PST
21:00 AEDT in Melbourne
23:00 NZDT in New Zealand


New players are welcome - just don't look up the word until after you've
voted.


-- Tim L


*** ZECCHIN ***


1. a young prawn.

2. a form of tonsure, q.v

3. [Uzbek.] a neutered male goat.

4. a rich fabric of silk and gold brocade.

5. a glen; a ravine closed at its upper end.

6. an elder of the Jewish community in France.

7. a former gold coin of Venice and Turkey: = CHEQUEEN, SEQUIN
q.v.

8. a fibrous material responsible for the stiffness of bamboo.

9. the larval form of the antlion lacewing. Also called
"doodlebug".

10. a mantle or cloak with a hood, an upper garment extensively
worn by Moors.

11. an unlikely run of good luck; implicitly understood that the
opposite awaited, sooner rather than later. (Heb. obs.)

12. a wild squash native to Mexico (Cucurbita pepo), probably the
origin from which the zucchini was developed over several centuries of
cultivation in southern Europe.

7 because if it is a coin and I miss it, I will be embarrassed, and 12 to
make sure Mr. Barrs wins the deal, or should.
