[Dixonary] Round 3078 HENTILAGET Results

The BBC TV programme that I was watching when I heard this word is called
'The Repair Shop', in which members of the public bring in damaged
heirlooms to be restored by a team of skilled craftsmen - what they manage
to do is quite astonishing. Last week a Scottish lady brought in her
grandmother's spinning wheel, which had practically fallen to bits. She
recalled her grandmother sending her and her sister out in Shetland, where
they grew up, to collect HENTILAGETs to spin into wool. They're the tufts
that sheep leave behind as they wander around, Def 10, as four perceptive
players guessed.

Alan Malach is our new dealer when a commendable 7 natural points for his
heavy drinking wager. Mike Shefler takes the coveted second place with an
unnatural 6 points.

Take it away, Alan!
