Default [Dixonary] Round 2879 (ANANKE) Results

Fellow players,

In announcing that I would deal Round 2879, Nancy S. said "Hope you don't pass it right back to me!" Alas, her wish was not to be granted. Her Japanese Noh mask, definition #8, received three votes. She also picked the correct definition, #7 (the Greek spirit) for another two. Her five points led the pack.

Earning four points and traditional "winnahs" are Judy Madnick and Ryan McGill. Ryan's Mandean deity (I hadn't heard of the Mandeans until he sent it in and I looked them up) was the top vote-getter, with four.

The correct definition of ANANKE earned a not-all-that-gratifying D5. So it goes.

Full results:

1. a kind of muffin. From Abell, T. who voted 2, 12. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

2. to hum, or vocalise. From Hale, K. who voted 6, 9. Voted for by: Abell, T. Score: 1.

3. [Rare] without barbs. From Cunningham, D. who voted 11, 13. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

4. a boisterous Latvian dance. From Stevens, G. who voted *7*, 12. Voted for by: None. Score: 2.

5. a small fruit-bearing tropical tree. From Madnick, J. who voted *7*, 12. Voted for by: Shepherdson, N.; McGill, R. Score: 4.

6. [Jap.] a tell-tale squeaking floorboard. From Bourne, T. who voted 8, 13. Voted for by: Hale, K.; McGill, R. Score: 2.

7. a Greek spirit, personifying necessity and fate. From Dictionary which could not vote. Voted for by: Stevens, G.; Madnick, J.; Shepherdson, N.; Carson, C.; Naylor, S. Score: D5.

10. a two-handled jar having a broad rounded shape and a wide bottom. From Carson, C. who voted *7*, 12. Voted for by: None. Score: 2.

11. a protein in platypus milk which contains antibacterial properties. From Naylor, S. who voted *7*, 8. Voted for by: Cunningham, D. Score: 3.

12. a Mandean deity which takes the form of a toad and represents patience and balance. From McGill, R. who voted 5, 6. Voted for by: Abell, T.; Stevens, G.; Madnick, J.; Carson, C. Score: 4.

13. a wooden or metal box with sliding pieces that must be moved in a particular order to open it; a puzzle box. From Shefler, M. who voted 8, 9. Voted for by: Cunningham, D.; Bourne, T. Score: 2.

Back to you, Nancy! May the ping-pong end here!
