No fewer than seven of you shrewdly guessed that when it comes to sheep and
goats, to YEAN is to give birth (#11).
My Random House College Dictionary, however, is not permitted to deal, so
the dealer for Round 1699 will be the next-highest scorer, Chris Carson,
whose "to gather bit by bit" (#3) attracted six votes.
Runners-up, with four points apiece: John Barrs, Tim Bourne, Paul Keating,
Tim Lodge, Judy Madnick, and Wayne Scott.
Details, below.
All yours, Chris!
