After further study, I am going to pull TABNAP from the round. While my notes indicate that it is
a different word from TABNAB, dealt in round 1783, it is sufficiently close to cause confusion to
even me and I can't get to an OED tonight to confirm that it is in fact a different word. I have
TABNAB as "a savoury snack" and TABNAP as "a cake, bun or pastry". That seems to be
suspiciously similar so to be safe and to prevent a bigger gaffe later ....
the word for round 1879 will now be:
*
* *
* * *
* * * *
* * * * *
* * * * * *
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * *
* * * * * * *
* * * * * *
* * * * *
* * * *

Capitalization is not significant.
If you're a DQ, please advise promptly. Otherwise, please submit your fake
definitions for this word, by _email_ to ccarson(AT)ix.netcom.com, on or
before the deadline, which is 8:00 PM EST on Friday, February 01, 2008, or
5:00 PM PST . for those on the Left Coast. For those in far flung time
zones, the numbers would be, 1:00 AM UTC on Saturday, February 02, 2008.
My apologies to those who have submitted tabnaps. If you wish to use your submitted def for
tabefy, do nothing. Otherwise, please submit a replacement.
