A very thin selection this time, I'm afraid, but if I delay it will be 16 hours or so before I have
another chance.

Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one), before the
deadline, which is 2 pm BST on Friday 21st July. That will be 1300 UTC, or 9 am in New York, or 6 am
in LA, 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: a red olive from Greece.

2: the number three in Brythonic numerals.

3: gravel formed from the weathering of ancient lava flows.

4: an ancient Greek spirit, personification of necessity and fate.

5: (Sc.) unusually shaped stones said to confer good luck on those who find them.

6: one who will persist in reaching a goal, no matter what obstacles there are in the way.

7: [Anc. Gk.] a large ceramic vessel used to hold oil or wine, of about 10 gallon capacity.

8: high tech filaments included in modern bank note designs. Under a microscope they can reveal a
great deal about the individual bill.

9: in ancient Athens, the building in which the fifty members of the _prytaneis_, a sub-committee
of the _Boule_ council, were housed and fed during their thirty-six day period of duty.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

4: an ancient Greek spirit, personification of necessity and fate.
