imaginative concoctions of your fellow players, and one comes from a dictionary. Vote
for any two defs of your choice, and mail your vote to the list -- not to
me.
Please identify your vote by name, as I can't always remember all of the
non-obvious email aliases and have to go looking up the master membership
list.
Deadline for voting will be Thursday, September 13, at Noon EDT or the
equivalent time in your zone.

gears used in a clock or watch (see also _cogener_
4: the flywheel on the rotating shaft of a on a steam-engine governor
5: a "tobacconist's kit" (Before commercial cigarette rolling machines,
these small pouches containing rolling papers and loose tobacco were sold.)

transport loads over boggy ground
8: a figure of a squatting defecating person, a traditional character in

Hi Dick,
You seem to have forgotten not only the real def, but also my submission. Or do I need better glasses?
