Thank you for your definitions. What a talented lot we have here! And not a single DQ!

Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one), before the
deadline, which is 6.30 pm GMT on Thursday 19 January. That would be 1.30 pm in New York and 10.30
am in LA. Sorry it's a little under 30 hours, but it was a choice between that and nearly 48 hours.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round. Don't look in a dictionary.

1: to complain [Scot.]

2: to punish with blows.

3: a war bonnet of the Pequod tribe.

4: supporting structure for a polyp colony.

5: a seat for riding on the back of an elephant or camel.

6: [Anglo-Ind] a condiment consisting of flakes of dried fish.

7: decorative indentations made by the rounded peen of a hammer.

8: a visual distortion in ocean water caused by a salinity gradient.

9: a fine cotton cloth, dyed maroon, from the Punjab region of India.

10: a secondary sedimentary deposit of coarse ksolinite clay and fine silt.

11: [Numis.] a Finnish coin minted from 1902 - 1912 bivalued at two penni and two kopeks.

12: to remove all signs of insect activity on high items such as fans or electric fixtures.

13: a point scored in the game of jai-alai when an opposing player juggles or holds the ball.

14: an old English measure of glass, containing twenty-four weys of five pounds, or 120 pounds.

15: the long, thin cylinder pushed into a wheel of cheese to remove a core sample for tasting.

16: a table tennis maneuver in doubles in which the partners periodically alternate sides, left to
right.

17: the boat reserved for the headman of a village in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands [now Kiribati
and Tuvalu].

18: a large wooden dowel once used to lock gears in Britain's clock towers while workers performed
maintenance on the clockworks.

19: an art form in which objects are constructed from pieces of hammered copper sheet joined
mechanically, i.e. without solder or welding.

20: the movable rasping structure in the mouth of gastropods, bearing numerous rows of chitinous
teeth and used for scraping off and drawing in food particles.

21: a trouser-like men's garment of southern Asia, ballooning from the waist to snug fastenings at
the ankles; it is worn on ceremonial and other formal occasions, customarily with an embroidered
jacket.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

What a wonderfullty inventive set of people we are!!

stopping the clock is wonderful and the dents of hammer peen sounds so
likely. So in all probability its neither of those but those are what I
will go for

#7 and #18 please

Could it be something to do with peen hammers, or even India? I'm not
convinced. I was also tempted by the old English glass measure, but
in the end I've decided to vote for:
