Hi Millie,

What a tough list to choose from!

Hmmm, without any compelling reason, I'll pick 10 and 11.

> 10: A swamp in an upland coastal region

> 11: a colored translucent material used in theatrical lighting

Best, Hugo

[Dave Cunningham]

2 and 16 as being absolutely wrong!

Dave

[Tim Lodge]

Millie

This week's incorrect guesses are:

> *5: A cerebroside found in brain tissue and containing fatty acid, sphingosine, and galactose
>
> *6: the fluid in bursa sacs

Too many good options...I'v narrowed it down to nine. LOL! Well, I'll go with the first and the last:

<< 1: a dimple in the cheek, produced by smiling

<< 20: A pectin used for turning clear fruit juices into jellies

I will try the two coatings:

12: a kind of wallpaper coating used in the late 19th century to
impart a sheen to the surface.

and

13: a thin translucent or transparent film used as an edible wrapper
for some foodstuffs.

Hm. Several defs suggest that this could be merely a variant spelling of "gelatin." Would Millie do that to us?&nbsp;

I'm going to assume not.

I'm probably wrong.

So, focusing on the odd ones, of which there are also quite a few, I'll choose:







&nbsp;3: an elaborate and poetic compliment; eulogy; laudation







and

&nbsp;7: digestive enzyme in a bird's crop

I'll take two of the gels: 13 and 17.

But all those medical terms got me to thinking: has anyone heard from
Wayne Scott lately?

I would have voted for a llama if there was one.



Failing that, since my iPhone skin is made by the company "Gelaskins" I'll
go with 11 and 13.



(No, my iPhone is not edible.)
