[Dixonary] Round 1851: NGAIO - Call for votes

[Tim B]

Here are your offerings, a rather thin collection, I'm afraid, but with definitions attributed to
quite a variety of languages. Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply
to this one, but Reply to List if you have that option), before the deadline, which is 11 am GMT on
Sunday 19th November. That is:

London, United Kingdom Sun, 19 Nov 2017 at 11:00 GMT
Wellington, New Zealand Mon, 20 Nov 2017 at 00:00 NZDT
New York, USA Sun, 19 Nov 2017 at 06:00 EST
San Francisco, USA Sun, 19 Nov 2017 at 03:00 PST
Paris, France Sun, 19 Nov 2017 at 12:00 CET

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 spiritual awakening.

2: [Swahili] a small bird.

3: [Maori] a being, a soul.

4: [Swahili] a baby elephant.

5: a hot, dry northeast wind of Cape Town.

6: a feudal lord of Japan who was a large landowner.

7: a Maori greeting in which noses are pressed together.

8: [Viet.]. a river (see _Ngaio Mekong_, a river in Viet Nam)

9: a small New Zealand tree with edible fruit and light white timber.

10: Xhosa name for the honey bird in the click language of the Nguni cluster.

11: an African musical instrument made of metal strips along a hollow wooden tub.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

I'll try the spiritual awakening and the antipodean tree: 1 and 9, please.

1: a spiritual awakening.

9: a small New Zealand tree with edible fruit and light white timber.

1 and 9 - which would still have gotten my vote if it said "edible white
timber" as being sufficiently unlikely ...

10 and 11, to prove I can count that high and because it sounds African to me. (I know there are other African definitions, but I only get two votes.)

BTW - just noticed this - I think this is round 2851, not 1851. We don't want to wipe out a thousand rounds of history in one swell foop!
