[Dixonary] Round 2908 results

Hi all

Plagium turned out not to be related to plagarism or swimming, but it's a
Scottish legal term for kidnapping children. I found it in a novel called
Gillespie and I, by Jane Harris (recommended, if you like historical
fiction), which features this heinous crime.

Dave Cunningham is our winner, with 5 unnatural points, for his beach or
cove, with Tim B & Tony as the real winners on 3 points each.

Take it away Dave!
