ZEK defs 1624

[Dave Cunningham]

Holidays still hitting us, eh? All of you know about Arab terms for ... hemp ... let's see how you do with ZEK!

Only 14 great defs to choose from -- vote for 2 hereof before 7 a.m. EDT on Thursday. Thanks!! As always, all errors are the fault of the dealer.

1. An ice ax.

2. A covered copper pot which is buried in embers and ashes overnight to cook the contents.

3. The standard monetary unit of Albania, divided into 100 qintars.

4. Mummy-wrapping fabric.

5. An inmate of a Soviet labor camp.

6. The last letter of the Swahili alphabet.

7. _Chiefly Brit. Slang_ To fool around or go about.

8. A toothed wooden trim.

9. Any of several small coins used in the Middle-East [originally a diminutive of 'shekel']

10. A cross between a zebra and an elk.

11. A machine-gun interrupter mechanism which allows firing through the propeller arc.

12. A Polish coin worth one-tenth of a zloty.

13. A hack or expedient shortcut in programming that bypasses a problem instead of solving it (from zero effort kluge [or kludge]).

14. A curse; cursed, damned.

I got to the end of the list without finding one to vote for, so I'll

Dave, I sent you a def for kif, assuming you would use it for zek, but don't see it on the list.

I'll vote for 13 and 14.

[franellewetz]

I'll vote for #8 and #10, please.

[Dave Cunningham]

Mea culpa -- that always seems to happen when a word gets yanked :( -- 2 points your way.

[Tony Abell]

You'd think with only 14 defs the real one would stand right out. As
it is, all I can do is take a coin and be damned: 9 and 14.
