I think we may have set a new record for the fewest definitions
in a round. On the other hand, your fertile minds have produced a
set of definitions for CHIBRIT which cover the waterfront.]
Please cast your votes for the two definitions you think are
most likely, or most deserving, by the deadline of 0800 EDT,
Sunday morning, May 7. Other zones, other times.
Enjoy!
1. A decorative groove or channel cut into the surface of wood
paneling.
2. A French croissant with apricot filling.
3. A gourd-shaped flask forming the body of an alembic.
4. [Scot.] A sort of green colour.
5. An orange-red dye-stuff, got by boiling the leaves of a
South American Bignonia.
6. An extremely thin and fragile porcelain from China.
7. A Hong Kong Chinese who obtained citizenship of the UK, but
with no right of abode there, under 1986 legislation;
official name _British National (Overseas)_ [_Chi_nese +
_Brit_ish]
8. A warrior caste of Assam and northern Burma.
9. Lumberman's spiked and hooked lever.
10. A young snake.
11. A small sparrow of the eastern Canada and U.S. coast,
_Passerculus bairdii_, having a distinctive low-pitched,
staccato call.
12. (_Alchemy_) An elemental mercury capable of producing
metals, because it contains a male principle, viscous
sulphur, and a female principle, liquid mercury.
13. _Southeastern U.S. Slang_ A saddle blanket.
Scott, who is glad he doesn't have to decide among these!
