Hi Christopher,

For the first time ever in my history of playing Dixonary, I had to resort
to throwing dice. With this word, not one single def sounds even remotely
believable!

The first roll of my trusty d20 told me to vote for

12. A plate on which offerings were made to the gods in Ancient Greece.

And the second die roll was for

6. Form of land tenure in Orkney and Shetland islands.

Best, Hugo
