Round 1867 vote for DORJE

[mshefler]

Here are 16 definitions for dorje, one of which came from a real dictionary. Vote for your 2 favorites no later than 10 AM EST, Tuesday, December 18.


1. [Rus.] a low four-wheeled open carriage.

2. protection or sanctuary provided by Old English law to persons in
certain circumstances, as when in a church or traveling on the king's
highway.

3. a small trident symbolizing power.

4. local magistrate [historical; used only in N Italy 1400-1562,
probably a corruption of the venetian "doge"]

5. a small wooden boat.

6. a glazed Swedish pastry, usually filled with lingonberry jam.

7. [Scot.] an obscene or mocking gesture [Northumb. _dor_ perh. from ON.
_dár_ scoff, in phr. _draga dár at_ to make game of + _jee_ a move,
motion etym. unc.] Fm; Shepherdson [8,8] [Sp.] low, rolling hills.

8. a Swedish folk dance in three-four time.

9. a sluice gate, specifically one used to balance water levels in a
canal system.

10. [Dan.] a pastry filling consisting of sugar and fruit.

11. [Dutch] a kind of iceboat with two sails.

12. [Sp.] a gift, especially one given during a Posada.

13. a mild Dutch cheese, usually brick-shaped.

14. a pale to very pale green.

15. an elaborate carriage or shay.

16. a type of stonemason's chisel with an offset shaft.

[Dodi Schultz]

Um, something seems to have gone awfully wrong with def #7; two--one of
them submitted by Nancy--somehow got tangled?

Anyway, I'll vote for the Danish pastry filling and the fancier of the two
boats; that's #10 and #11.

--Dodi

[Wayne Scott, MD]

11 and 13 for no reason except that my late wife was of Netherlandish
descent.

[Tim Lodge]

Mike

Hoping it's not one of defs 7A and 7B, I'll go for the Scandinavian
pastries:

6 and 10 please.

-- Tim L

[Dave Cunningham]

10 and 11 here also.

[Judy Madnick]

I'll go with the food -- but I'll have to decide which two of the three!

<< 6. a glazed Swedish pastry, usually filled with lingonberry jam.

<< 10. [Dan.] a pastry filling consisting of sugar and fruit.

Johnny,

There is no 7a and 7b. Def 7 got prepended to Nancy Shepherdson's def. So
you get another vote. Unless you really want to vote for Nancy's def.

[Chuck]

Mike -

A nice selection. I'll try -

5. a small wooden boat.

and

6. a glazed Swedish pastry, usually filled with lingonberry jam.

Thanks,

Chuck

[Christopher Carson]

Picking mostly at random - 5 and 14, a pale green wooden boat.

[JohnnyB]

Mike

I’ll take what should be #7 (i.e. - Nancy) and #14 then

1 and 15 for vehicles with real horsepower.

[Paul Keating]

I'll go for the Danish pastries, 6 and 10.

[Dodi Schultz]

Johnny, your new vote message came up blank. Was it in a non-plaintext
attachment or something?

--Dodi

[Nancy Shepherdson]

I'll take 11 and 12.

And thanks for the dealer points; I was wondering where my definition
was until I saw it dangling from the end of 7.

Nancy

[Daniel B. Widdis]

In addition to Nancy's name, looks like we've referenced [Rus.], [Scot.],
and [Dan.]

I'll vote for 2 because I believe it, and 3 because as a Navy man, I'm fond
of tridents symbolizing power, e.g.,

[Scott Crom]

Who am I to buck the crowd? 6 and 10, please.

[Tony Abell]

I'll try 2 and 14, please.

[JohnnyB]

Dodi

Nothing more, nothing less, than usual

I believe I should have got a 2nd vote, assuming "-" is to be read "minus".
