Here are the batch of defs for KLEPHT, of which one is correct. Sans
recourse to a dictionary, please vote for two of these before 6 a.m.
EST on Wednesday Nov 12. Thanks!



1. unclean

2. a brigand

3, Stolen goods

4. taken; stolen

5. Named or titled

6. [Scot.] Known as.

7. Engaged to marry.

8. supposedly; attributed to

9. [Ar.] a kind of sash worn under a robe

10. a stratospheric lightning discharge.

11. mystical straight line between features of landscape.

12. ash and debris ejected by a volcano.

13. [onomat] the snort made by a charging rhinoceros

14. of livestock, firm and well-fattened; an attractive woman
(Ger.)

15. The sound a wet finger makes when removed from the neck of a
two liter Coca-Cola bottle.

16. a small drum using the stiffened skin of a wolf or bear as the
sounding surface.

17. A transparent fabric used as a drop in the theater to create
special effects of lights or atmosphere

18. A symbol often used in ancient Egypt, consisting of a cross
with four equal arms and a circle attached at the top.

19. The motto (an acronym of Kindness Lets Every Person Hear Truth)
of the quasi-religious 19th century Truth Positivism movement.


Note above, as dealer I did not find the similar defs to be quite
combinable for what I consider proper reasons.

Thanks!

Hi Dave,

Avoiding all defs that might or might not have been combined, I'll go for
two noisy ones:

> 10. a stratospheric lightning discharge.

> 16. a small drum using the stiffened skin of a wolf or bear as the
> sounding surface.

Best, Hugo

17 and 19, the fabric and the motto, because nobody's voted for them

Even though I think the klepto connection is way too obvious, I'm
still going to take 3 and then I might as well take its sqaure too -
so that's 3 and 9.

Yes I was wondering why you didn't combine 13 and 15...
