Here are 16 definitions, one of which came from my dictionary.

Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this
one), before the deadline: Friday, April 22nd 11:30 AM Eastern Time or
the equivalent in your time zone.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this
round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, are
in the file RULES.DIX in library 17.

1: difficult, hard

2: [Obs.] Twilight

3: a moral blemish

4: deeply shaded or secluded

5: a demon of Norse mythology

6: (N.W. Eng. Dial.) a daffodil

7: a maker of protective talismans

8: petroleum residue after distillation

9: a knee-length tunic worn beneath chain mail

10: an Anglo-Saxon rune with an unclear meaning

11: a Hindu feast day devoted to the deity Vishnu

12: land that is in agricultural production [L. arvum]

13: a small crossbow used by mounted soldiers of the Mongol Empire

14: an ancient Celtic stringed instrument that was bowed or plucked

15: the knot used for tying calves in the rodeo event of calf roping
