I shouldn't be allowed to deal. I've taken about twice too long to get this posting up.
Here are 16 definitions of SENNET. Please vote for 2 on the open forum. 30 hours from now will be 6:30 P.M. PDT, Sunday, April 22. . . I think.

2. flat stones that are stacked in a frame for use as counterweights.

3. a small container, such as a box or jar, in which sewing materials are kept.

4. _archaic_ a merchant

5. the reel on which raw silk is wound in the first stage of silk processing.

6. a fat, thick-bodied variety of lake trout found in the upper part of Lake Superior.

7. a small lateen-rigged sailing vessel of the lower Nile.

8. apron, part of a dress resembling an apron.

9. a drag-line bucket type of open pit mining equipment

10. [chiefly UK] a trash bin, also _skip_

11. a tiny spring-tailed insect.

Assuming this is SKIPPET, and I haven't slipped through a
time warp or something similar, I'll have 8 and 12, please.

Best wishes,

I'll vote for 10 because I like it and 11 because it seems absolutely
impossible.
