Rather a thin crop this time, I'm afraid, though I've allowed an extra few hours.

Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one), before the
deadline, which is 7 pm BST on Monday 10th July. That will be 2017.07.10 1800 UTC, or about 2pm on
the US East Coast and 11 am on the US West Coast, and so on.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round. Don't look in a
dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, can be seen at www.dixonary.net.

1: the merest trifle; a straw.

2: an inexpensive lodging house.

3: indifference to insult and abuse.

4: a layer of loose rock overlaying solid rock .

5: a young crustacean, prior to its first molting.

6: a name for gin, or for a particular quality of gin.

7: [Theo.] the Mortal sin of Lust (Martin Luther 1517)

8: a type of fine sable paintbrush used in oil painting.

9: [obs. Bio.] nonce word, the highly colored rear parts of an adult male alpha mandrill in the
breeding season.

10: in Dutch and Flemish folklore, a changeling child left behind by fairies or trolls, commonly
used as an explanation for mysterious diseases or ailments of children.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

We haven't seen loose rock for a while, so I'll go for 4 and 6.

I got to the end of the list without finding a believable one, so I’ll go with the unbelievable nonce and folklore, 9 and 10, offering congratulations to 10’s author on his/her impending deal.

The only remotely plausible ones are 5 and 10, so I vote for those:

> 5: a young crustacean, prior to its first molting.

> 10: in Dutch and Flemish folklore, a changeling child left behind by fairies
> or trolls, commonly used as an explanation for mysterious diseases or
> ailments of children.

My def failed to get to you, but it was entirely my fault as I typed your
email address incorrectly.

I'll vote for 7 and 10.

7: [Theo.] the Mortal sin of Lust (Martin Luther 1517)

10: in Dutch and Flemish folklore, a changeling child left behind by
fairies or trolls, commonly used as an explanation for mysterious diseases
or ailments of children.
