Well, I'm sorry to say my choice of words for this round was a bit of a
disaster.
And the Dictionary won again too. It scored one point more than Dave
Cunningham and his Hebrew seals (I'm trying very hard not to picture that;
but
failing)

The correct definition was No.17 "A pileless woven carpet, rug, etc., made
in Turkey, Kurdistan, and neighbouring areas" which was chosen by 5
perceptive players.

Take it away dealer Dave ... I expect you'll make a better fist of it that I
just did :)

No one even surmised as to what kind of "seals" were meant!

Ah well ...
