[Dixonary] Re: New Word: TOMIUM

[Bill Hirst]

Tomium, Tomium, the piper's sonium.

I've been on- and off-line over the past few weeks (because of a forced
upgrade) and haven't been paying close attention.

Please will someone explain what words have been played in what rounds.

According to my records,
-- Round 1751 was bombazine/teazle/eozoon.
-- Round 1753 was hooding
-- Round 1754 is parmiographer.

So, what was the word in 1752? Was it horst or was it tomium? I know I
submitted defs for both.

So if 1752 was tomium, then horst was really 1753 and all the subsequent
round numbers are off by one.

This question might seem monumentally small-minded, but it does actually
matter for things like rolling scores, the used-word list, and so on.

Tomium was round 1750. Horst was 1752. You've got the rest right.

Thanks, Hugo.

Exactly the pointer I needed.

There have been the most amazing delays on incoming email from the group, in
excess of 10 days, which partly excuses my confusion.
