For those who are interested, the definition is not entirely fictional. I
just changed one letter from the word it does define: "chalala."

Um -- I voted for #20, not #10. Sorry that I didn't notice that before.

Here's my message:

* * * * *

I don't know why I bother to agonize over this -- I'm so rarely correct anyhow! So I'll choose two definitions quickly:

<< 6. An Israeli circular folk dance for up to fifty people.
'cuz it sounds like fun

and

<< 20. [Heb./Yid.] the daughter of a marriage between a Kohein
<< (priestly
<< class) and a woman of non-Kohanic lineage or a divorcee. See
<< Chalal,
<< the male equivalent. Children of such a union are and their
<< descendants are no longer considered part of the Kohani

even though I've never heard of this. <G>
