[Dixonary] Round 3098 SAURY results

This would have been a confusing round to score even if I had dealt more
recently than round 304. Three players who remembered their Latin thought
that *saury* had something to do with lizards, and while they disagreed on
*what* was lizard-like, I combined their definitions. This had the
undesired result of leading one player to vote for his own definition.

Six different players thought that the word was of Scots origin, giving the
win to Efrem Mallach, who also correctly identified the sharp-snouted fish.
