CUCOLORIS – is it…?

1. [archaic] a squirrel.

2. a common bird of the Orkneys.

3. a migratory species of reptiles.

4. the European glow-worm, _*Lampyris noctiluca*_.

5. a fungus used for centuries to make dark brown ink.

6. a species of fuchsia exclusive to the Inagua Islands.

7. fortune-telling based on what variety of cabbage a blindfolded
person picks.

8. a device for casting shadows or silhouettes to produce patterned
illumination.

9. a woven, usually woolen area rug with a long, soft pile,
traditionally of Greek origin.

10. a medium-sized parrot of South America and the Caribbean _Amazona
autumnalis_.

11. decorative glassware in which coloured glass rods are fused and cut to
create flower patterns: an ancient technique revived in Venice in the
sixteenth century and in France and England in the nineteenth century.

12. a spasm of a muscle or muscle group, usually caused by sudden muscle
contractions (positive cucoloris) or brief lapses of contraction
(negative cucoloris). The most common circumstance under which they
occur is while falling asleep (hypnic jerk).

It does sound like a bird or other animal, so I'll avoid those and choose 8
and 11:

> 8.Â* a device for casting shadows or silhouettes to produce patterned
> illumination.

> 11. decorative glassware in which colouredglass rods arefused and cut to
> create flower patterns: an ancient technique revived in Venice in the
> sixteenth century and in France and England in the nineteenth century.

Debbie - do you want to check your deadline - I had 16 hours in total. You
might like to extend it or some people might miss out voting.

{Time Mathematics are so complicated it takes large delegations of
highly trained scientists and mathematicians and polymaths --- just to
get it horribly wrong (daylight mangling time is all i need mention).
THE only reason i no longer add full tables (or partial) to my deals
is an absolute certainty that i will get them disgustingly wrong. I
live with the dread of learning that the time paradoxes that resulted
from my grievous errors may have caused both Brexit & Drumpf. Or
Justin Timberbieber. The horror. The horror.} </semi-dry humour>

Back to the lovely, generous round. I am feeling 4 & 12 (if only
because i've known some glowing hypnicster jerks).
Cheerios!
