Hmmm...a lot of interesting (and similar!) definitions. I think I'll go with two of the food-related definitions:

<< 4: an Indonesian feast.

<< 14: a Middle Eastern dish of lamb cooked with rice, raisins and
<< pignolia nuts in a creamy sauce.

7: a state of confusion or agitation.


11: a statue placed near a harbor for use as a navigational aid.

I'll try one tritely obvious and therefore doubtless wrong:

> 2: a prayer rug.

and, since I'm completely at sea on this, one that seems ridiculous:

> 11: a statue placed near a harbor for use as a navigational aid.

I'll take the sheep, dead or alive - 14 and 15.


Thanks for including Melbourne in the deadline list, but for the
record we changed to summer time (UTC+11) today so it's 7am not 6am.

I vote for the popular 2 and the unpopular 6.

I would have voted for 9 and 17, being very close, but I was put off 17 by
the pleonasm "verbatim recitation". Can't imagine that coming out of a real
dictionary.

Tim -

Interesting selection. I'll try -

4: an Indonesian feast.

and

16: (adj. pl.) an Arabic term designating any objects or actions which
are permissible to use or engage in, according to Islamic law.

Thanks,

Chuck
