Three of you guessed that MARCIATON is a kind of ointment (Def No 9).
However the leading scores were all made up only of votes, with no
help from accurate guessing. The next deal goes to Judy Madnick with
6 natural points for her angular fortification, while relaxing in
coveted second place is Chuck Emery with 5 natural points for his
authentic-sounding heraldic device.
Over to you, Judy!
