Default [Dixonary] Voting Time in Round 2919, PADALYVIS

Folks,

Fourteen possible definitions of PADALYVIS follow, a nice selection due in part to contributions by two new players. (Both are copied separately on this message in case they're not receiving group emails yet, so they might get two of these.) 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.

One of these definitions is correct, but which? The others are the products of your collective minds. 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. having a limp.

2. [Anglo-Indian] a water-wagon.

3. sucking proboscis or sucking end.

4. precognition, clairvoyance; literally "road-sight."

5. the process by which leaves change color in autumn.

6. the webbing between the toes of certain breeds of dogs.

7. a medieval shield large enough to protect the whole body.

8. a creeping plant common in tropical parts of South America.

9. a new FDA-approved treatment for peripheral arterial disease.

10. a politician who accepts bribes disguised as donations to a fake charity.

11. [Philosophy] a metaphysical doctrine according to which there are true contradictions.

12. a splashing sound elicited when a patient is shaken, indicative of fluid and air in a body cavity.

13. an adverbial participle describing an action performed by one that causes or otherwise relates to the action of another.

14. a theory that posits the existence of ectoplasm as the material manifestation of spirits of the dead, first proposed in 1884 by Simon Antrim of Bavaria.

The deadline for voting is 47+ hours from now, since nobody requested an extension to accommodate the U.S. Labor Day holiday. It is 9 am on Sunday, September 2, 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> .

Vote away!

Efrem
