Default [Dixonary] Round 2899 (GLUME) definitions

Folks,

A healthy fifteen possible definitions of GLUME follow. One is correct. The others are the products of your collective minds. They have been edited for format consistency and are in order by character count, which might not correspond to visual length in your email display font. Please vote for two that you like for any reason (such as, but not necessarily, thinking that they might be correct) by public Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list.

1. [Fr.] a potter's wheel.

2. grease or other lubricant.

3. [obs.] slime, esp. of tree frogs.

4. an edible, mild-flavored seaweed.

5. a portent of fortune: good or ill.

6. rough fragments of wood; splinters.

7. a hot spiced wine drink of Scandinavia.

8. supporting structure for a polyp colony.

9. twisted out of shape (said chiefly of trees).

10. a collection of parishes ministered to by one vicar.

11. a rubber-coated pad mounted on the cylinder of an offset press.

12. a swivel pole on a cart that attaches to a yoke or collar harness.

13. one of a pair of dry membranous bracts at the base of the spikelet of grasses.

14. [Northumberland dialect] coal dust, such as covered miners’ bodies after a day in the pits.

15. [arch.] the space between the cusps in Gothic architecture; a rounded or leaflike ornament, in windows, niches, etc.

The deadline for voting is about 47 1/2 hours from now: 9 pm on Saturday, June 9, in US EDT. According to timeanddate.com <http://timeanddate.com/>, that is:



and other times in other places. Please check any conversion that applies to you. That site is good, but nobody's perfect.

New players are welcome to vote, even if you didn't submit a definition for this word - as are, of course, veteran players who happened not to. Full rules at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules <http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules> .

Happy voting,

Efrem

Twisted trees sound very Seussical, and with trees come tree frogs.



3 and 9.

I'll err in favor of 5 and 13:

> 5. a portent of fortune: good or ill.


> 13. one of a pair of dry membranous bracts at the base of the spikelet of grasses.

Give me:

5 - the portent of fortune (AND we can shake hands, too)
