Hi Chris,

Nice bunch of defs - except that I believe none of them.

I'll award points to the authors of

> 2. An area of boggy ground between a moat and a castle wall.

and

> 18. A three-pronged spear used in fishing.

Best, Hugo

[Dodi Schultz]

None of these seem possible, but I'll randomly say #3 and #9.
