Default [Dixonary] Round 3145 LEISTER results

Folks,

A leister is definition 6: "a fishing spear with three barbed prongs." Maybe some people remembered subconsciously that they had seen this def before - I used it as my fake def of "peccaid," which Mike Shefler dealt in Round 3069 - and were scared off it by that, or thought that it's the definition of a trident so it must be fake. However, John Barrs remembers fishing for salmon with a leister as a youth to avoid buying a very expensive license. This is a person (not John, as far as I know) fishing with a leister:




Paul Keating's roof tiler, def. 9, and Shani Naylor's rocky hill, def. 10, each earned a natural 4. Since Paul is up by one point in the rolling scores, he will be our next dealer. Shani earns traditional "winnah" honors.

Full results follow:

1. [Scot.] a jute dealer. From Lodge, T. who voted 9, 13. Voted for by: Score: 2.

2. a lightweight cotton quilt. From Shepherdson, N. who voted 7, 12. Voted for by: Cunningham, D. Score: 1.

4. [Lancs.] a patchy morning fog or mist. From Shefler, M. who voted 8, 9. Voted for by: McGill, R. Score: 1.

5. [Naut.] slow in going about, as a ship. From Widdis, D. who did not vote.. Voted for by: McGill, R. Score: 1.

6. a fishing spear with three barbed prongs. From Dictionary which could not vote. Voted for by: None Score: D0.

7. a crumbly reddish-coloured cheese made of cow's milk. From Barrs, J. who was DQ. Voted for by: Shepherdson, N.; Naylor, S.; Cunningham, D. Score: 3..

8. a fine-grained quartzite used to line refractory furnaces. From Madnick, J. who voted 3, 13. Voted for by: Shefler, M.; Keating, P.; Bourne, T. Score: 3.

9. [ON, Obs.] a maker or layer of roof-tiles; a house-builder. From Keating, P. who voted 8, 10. Voted for by: Lodge, T.; Fein, D.; Shefler, M.; Abell, T. Score: 4.

10. A residual hill that consists of hard rock in an otherwise eroded area. From Naylor, S. who voted 1, 7. Voted for by: Fein, D.; Keating, P.; Bourne, T.; Mallach, A. Score: 4.

11. the legally established price paid to an owner when a slave is critically injured. From Embler, D. who voted 3, 12. Voted for by: None Score: 0.

13. [19c Lancs. Dialect] the drive belt, usually made of rope or woven fabric, used to transmit power in textile machinery. From Mallach, A. who voted 10, 12. Voted for by: Lodge, T.; Madnick, J. Score: 2.

No definition from Cunningham, D. who voted 2, 7. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 0.

No definition from Abell, T. who voted 1, 9. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 0.

No definition from McGill, R. who voted 4, 5. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 0.

For those who prefer tables, here are the results in that form, in descending score order without regard for tie-breaking precedence:



It's all yours, Paul!

P.S. Got my second shot of the Pfizer vaccine yesterday. Has nothing to do with Dixonary, but felt like telling people.
