I assume the word as in subject here - SENNET - is incorrect and we still are playing SKIPPET - ?yes/no?

If skippet..then I'll go for #5 and #14 please else, if it is sennet then I DQ

Whatever happened to "SKIPPET"?

Oh, well . . .

For lack of better guesses, I'll go with the animals:

<< 1. the South American hooded thrush.

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

10 and 12 -- the obvious and the not so.



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

12. a small straw basket used to take and then transfer a swarm of bees to a permanent hive. [obs.]

Does that mean that one of those defs is one you recognize as being Sennet?

In any case, I'll spring for 11 and 15.

apparently SENNET is an Elizabethan trumpet call (like in plays, where the king is announced)

What would a mock sennet be, then?

Yes. I had reason to look up sennet about a month ago in one of my other personae -- so, while I have to wait until round concludes
before posting this, sennet is 1) a formal trumpet call in an Elizabethan play, 2) any of several barracuda species 3) a Dorset
dialect word for a hand-held seine net and - what I was looking -for - 4) an old name for "land cress" - cardamine sps - often used
in salads for their sharp taste

Point being, if none of the definitions matched the trumpet call, then you
didn't know the def. :)

Ah, but at that point in time I did not know what the definition was - and there was a "peppery salad leaf (#16)" which matched
one of my meanings [4) an old name for "land cress" - cardamine sps - often used in salads for their sharp taste] - I would
therefore have to DQ even if my def was not the one in use by the dealer

N'est ce pas?
