5 because the "mars as big as the moon" hoax is making the rounds

Hmmmm . . . could be all . . . or none. <sigh> I've now narrowed it down to three, knowing full well that the one I eliminate is probably the correct definition. Oh, well. Here we go:

<< 14. A palm native to the Nile Valley of northeast Africa and having oblong or
<< ovoid fruits the size of an orange with a distinctive aroma and taste.

<< 16. A musical instrument of the aboriginal peoples of Australia, consisting of
<< a long hollow branch or a stick that makes a deep drone when blown into.

Tony -

I'm still impressed with the word, however I guess these fit it best:

1. African tribe native to western Nigeria.

5. In Hindu astrology, a conjunction of planets especially favorable for weddings.

Thanks,

Chuck
