[Dixonary] Round 2826 - BORITY Results

[Tony Abell]

Mike Shefler's definition of currency stability was the clear leader in
natural votes, earning him a healthy 5 points. That makes him the next dealer.
Though Keith Hale's mutual trust inspired just 3 votes, he emerges as the real
winner. Only John Barrs guessed that a bority is a mangrove pole, a meaning,
it is safe to say, that makes no sense to anyone but him, (and I'm the one who
chose the damn word). On the bright side, everyone who submitted a definition
got at least one point.

Take it away, Mike!

What *is* a mangrove pole? Is it a pole made from a mangrove tree or
some part thereof? Or is it a pole that is somehow involved in growing
mangroves? Or does the "mangrove" have an entirely different meaning not
related to the mangrove tree? Inquiring minds want to know.

A fishing stake, or a "scissor net" for housing in southeast Asia. Beats
me.

I do not know but made a guess which goes something like this: Mangroves
grow in tidal swamps and are frequently almost impenetrable tangle and
certainly not poles. However, when a mangrove seed germinates and then
floats to a place which is not yet colonised by it then it often grows
in the intertidal zone ie uncovered at low tide but covered at high tide
until it grows big enough to be free standing. When they are growing
like that they are a single vertical stem and I assumed that was what
the word meant (some confirmation of that idea can be found on wiki
article on mangroves (section on increasing the survival off offspring))

But: I don't know -- that is merely a guess
