Presented below for your voting pleasure are fourteen creative definitions
for IGGRI. One of them actually came from a dictionary; the remaining
baker's dozen are the products of our players' imaginations. Determining
which is which is an exercise left for the reader.

Vote for two of these definitions by public reply to this message within the
next 36 hours, to wit, by 12:00 PM PDT on Wednesday, May 05, 2010. That
corresponds to 3pm EDT, 19.00 GMT, and sometime in the dark Thursday morning
hours in Australia.

5. A candleholder with a representation of a saint (Gr.
Orth.)

6. An edible, dried preparation of red algae of genus

been added

I'll take 12 and 14 as slightly less implausible than the others:
