Tim Lodge ran away with this round, eliciting 6 votes for his Breton
neolithic stone plus 2 points for identifying the correct definition,
for a total of 8 unnatural points.
Mike Shefler's Druids and Dick Weltz's Nordic herrings tied for second
place with 4 votes.
The perceptive Johnny Barrs also identified the correct definition,
the OED's obsolete "to flatter," which apparently was all the rage in
early Middle English.
Over to you Tim.
