Default [Dixonary] Round 3099 PAHAN results

Folks,

Round 3099 was a tight race to the end, with the 9-11 pair attracting five votes. Judy Madnick's shifting sand dune (#9) got two other votes as well, giving her a natural 7 and the next deal, while Shani Naylor's Turkish musical instrument got only one other. Shani has a natural 6 and is the traditional "winnah."

A pahan is a village priest of Sarna Dhorom, def. #8. Some dictionaries don't have it, but Wiktionary - on the first page in a Google search, after a few hits for Dr. Kalipada Pahan - does, as do many other sources. I was cruising for a D0 until Ryan McGill messed it up as the next-to-last voter. If that's the worst thing that happens to me today, it will still be a very good day.

Full results:

1. a low wooden-framed bedstead. From Lodge, T. who voted 9, 11. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

2. [Sanskrit] a grandfather or uncle. From Cunningham, D. who voted 9, 11. Voted for by: Naylor, S.; Mallach, A. Score: 2.

3. a shallow, oval, earthenware casserole. From Carson, C. who voted 9, 11. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

4. the practice of polygamy among the Hmong. From Shepherdson, N. who voted 10, 12. Voted for by: Barrs, J. Score: 1.

5. a slow, mournful dance in 3/4 or 6/8 time. From Shefler, M. who voted 7, 9. Voted for by: Widdis, D. Score: 1.

6. a large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the head. From Widdis, D. who voted 5, 14. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

7. a larval jellyfish after it has separated from the scyphistoma. From Embler, D. who voted 9, 11. Voted for by: Shefler, M. Score: 1.

8. a village priest of Sarna Dhorom, the related indigenous religions of the Munda peoples of South Asia. From Dictionary which could not vote. Voted for by: McGill, R. Score: D1.

9. a crescent-shaped shifting sand dune, convex on the windward side and steeper and concave on the leeward. From Madnick, J. who voted 10, 11. Voted for by: Lodge, T.; Cunningham, D.; Carson, C.; Shefler, M.; Embler, D.; Keating, P.; Barrs, J. Score: 7.

10. [Hist.] a Turkish official who had care of the horses in a cavalry regiment [Turkish < Pers. peḥan, farrier] From Keating, P. who voted 9, 11. Voted for by:
Shepherdson, N.; Madnick, J. Score: 2.

11. a Turkish musical instrument consisting of a wooden box with top tongues of bamboo or iron which the performer vibrates with the thumb and forefingers. From Naylor, S. who voted 2, 13. Voted for by: Lodge, T.; Cunningham, D.; Carson, C.; Embler, D.; Madnick, J.; Keating, P. Score: 6.

12. [Hindi] a mixture of ground betel nuts Areca palm wrapped in betel leaves Piper chewed as a relaxant throughout southern Asia. It is psychoactive and highly addictive. From Barrs, J. who voted 4, 9. Voted for by: Shepherdson, N.; Mallach, A. Score: 2.

13. a tribal people of Northwestern Burma, with small populations in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and in southern China; also, the hereditary ruler of the Pahan people. From Mallach, A. who voted 2, 12. Voted for by: Naylor, S.; McGill, R. Score: 2.

14. healing or comfort; from Pahan, emperor of China c.1380 BCE (CY 1315), who was known for establishing a period of peace and unity following several emperors whose reigns were characterized by a great civil war. From McGill, R. who voted *8*, 13. Voted for by: Widdis, D. Score: 3.

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



Judy has known of her fate unofficially for about eight hours now, though I suspect she was asleep - along with most others in the Western hemisphere - for much of that time. Now it's officially hers!
