a dictionary. Please select any two and email your votes to the group at
the regular Dixonary address.

In view to the Canada Day holiday tomorrow, I'll extend the deadline for

up. Players may vote who haven't submitted a definition.


1: a dry well

2: a wooden flagon

3: to harass; bother

4: a kneading-trough

5: a corral for goats

6: type of edible clam

7: a small copper rivet

8: a wooden brace [obs.]

9: an early earthenware bowl

10: a person who is gullible; a patsy

11: a non-specific pain (var. _crick_)

12: _N.Z. informal_ a tramper's home-made high-calorie sweetmeat

13: the articulated front wheel assembly on a horse-drawn carriage

14: to complain persistently, esp. in a whining or petulant manner

15: the start of a game of hurling - equivalent to the bully-off in hockey

16: also known as the slop locker. a source of used and discarded
clothing for sailors

in certain types of building

Good guessing!

[Judy Madnick]

"Good guessing"? For me this is definitely a guess! I have no clue, no hints, etc.

I'll go with these:

<< 2: a wooden flagon
<< 8: a wooden brace [obs.]

[France International]

I'll fall for 4 and 9.

[Dodi Schultz]

My wild guesses:
> 3: to harass; bother
> 4: a kneading-trough

[Daniel Widdis]

I'll take 12 because I have no idea what a tramper might be and 14 because
I'm currently dealing with an acquaintance of that description.

14: to complain persistently, esp. in a whining or petulant manner

[Tony Abell]

Wildly guessing, I'll try two personal choices, 10 and 14:
