I'll go up and down with 3 & 5, but it's probably somewhere in the middle.

Why were the defs posted 10 hours before the submission deadline?

I'll go for the middle and final... #9 and #17.

If that's not allowed, 10 and 16 please.

Hm. Mightn't #8 and #13 be one and the same? I think it might actually be
one of them, so I'll vote for both.

BTW: The list arrived at about 7 p.m. on Saturday. Didn't you say the
deadline for submissions was 5 a.m. Sunday? Or have I misremembered?

I didn't get a definition in this time because Bill posted almost 12
hours before his deadline. Oh well.

My vote is for 12 and 16.

4 and 17 - still no reasons make sense here. 17 is long at least.

12 and 17 seem the most plausible.

Bill -

The dealer points are much appreciated. I'd also like to vote for a
couple of defs, if that would be ok.

How about -

12. a small, sardine-like fish of the herring family.

and

17. the short twigs of young heather that grow in the same year after
moor-burning and are the primary food of grouse

Thanks,

Chuck
