Another of those might-as-well-be-Klingon words!

Pretty much at random, I'll go for:

> 7: _archaic Hebrew_ some sort of seals

and

> 17: A pileless woven carpet, rug, etc., made in Turkey, Kurdistan, and
> neighbouring areas

--Dodi

[France International]

6 and 16 for me.

[Matthew]

My votes go to:

9: A cigar with a bulge before the tapered point

and

18: a type of cravat formerly worn by sailors in the Black Sea and
Aegean [<
? Kilimli, N. Turkey]

--Matthew Grieco

[Hugo Kornelis]

Hi Millie,

Quite an interesting selection.

Hmmm, lemme see. I guess I'll cast my votes on 8 and 17:

> 8: In Islam, the religious duty of prayer

> 17: A pileless woven carpet, rug, etc., made in Turkey, Kurdistan, and

Best, Hugo

[Daniel B. Widdis]

I'll go with some sort of definition like #7, and pile on (or not) with #17.
