Well this was an interesting round. It shows the perils of not looking up the word in a dictionary first.
I knew lek from biology as the def given (from Wikipedia), but it also turns out to be the monetary unit
of Albania as well as a river in the Netherlands. So Keith Hale is the next dealer with his Slovak currency
and Chris Carson and Dick Weltz are the real winners with 4 each, and your dealer escaped with a lucky D0.
Three people knew the word, which I debated changing after the 3rd DQ, but decided not to postpone the round
In retrospect, I probably should have, but what's done is done.
