Here (after a bit of delay - I hope everyone finally got through!) are a slew of defs for ZOPE -- of which kindly vote for two before Sunday night at 8 p.m. EDT. Thanks!
1. a fast Spanish folk dance in triple time.
2. To roughen (a surface) slightly, as before applying paint.
3. a conical spire atop a stupa.
4. A ring or label on the leg of a bird
5. an African weaver-bird
6. A European fresh-water bream
7. [Slang] wishful thinking.
8. a South African burrowing rodent
9. In phonetics, any long vowel sound.
10. a ridge along the stamen of certain flowers.
11. any microscopic organism, esp. one found in water.
12. an ointment for cuts and burns. [Obs.]
13. a one passenger sled.
14. Any of the spaces between two triglyphs on a Doric frieze.
15. in logic, a circular tautology, as, "A or not-A, unless B or not-B." [G. _xope_, "denial"]
16. Andesitic gravel often found along weathered volcanic extrusions in the Cascade Range of North America.
17. One of a set of parallel cords or wires in a loom used to separate and guide the warp threads and make a path for the shuttle.
