2. [Obs.] Bent or crooked; crippled. [Lance] 5 14 (Widdis) (Danielson) (Bourne) 3
3. a thing of little or no value [Heimerson] 7 *9 (Hirst) 2 + 1 = 3

8. Brimless fur hat worn by Mongolian nomads. [Stone] 7 *9 (Madnick) 2 + 1 = 3
9. To vex; to annoy; to startle. [Webster] (Schultz) (Keating) (Stevens) (Savage) (Muths) (Stone) (Hirst) (Crom) (Heimerson) D9

13. A semi-permanent house made by covering the walls of a traditional felt yurt with clay and mud. [< Sir Edmund Hillary, 1957] [Hirst] 3 *9 (Carson) 2 + 1 = 3
14. A near circular or oval-shaped flat area which is enclosed and delimited by a boundary earthwork that usually comprises a ditch with an external bank. [Carson] 6 13 (Lance) (Stevens) (Barrs) (Abell) (Crom) 5
Widdis 2 dp 2 7 2
Stevens 2 dp *9 14 2 + 2 = 4
Barrs 2 dp (mea maxima culpa) 1 14 2
Bourne 2 dp 2 12 2
Bellsouth -- negative 6 dp.
Muths 1 *9 2 + 0 = 2
Danielson 2 7 nil
Abell 12 14 nil
As I read it, Scott Crom is the lucky next dealer with 8 points. - with Christopher Carson and Paul KEatings the "winnahs" with five points each. I still can not find out what happened other than one of the Bellsouth mailservers being down for some reason while the emails were residing on it. Thak you all for your forbearance on this!
