[Dixonary] Round 2851: NGAIO - results
This was a quiet round. As expected, Shani and Johnny were DQ, but I thought 2 was acceptable, and
I'm fairly happy with a D2. I've noticed the works of Ngaio Marsh, but had never bothered to look up the origin of that name, until I came across it in another context. So the next deal goes to Guerri Stevens with 4 natural points; the real winner is Dave Cunningham with 3 points, and most other people seem to have 2 points. 1: a spiritual awakening. Voted for by: Tim Lodge, Dave Cunningham, Tony Abell, Keith Hale FROM Guerri Stevens who voted 6 and 11, and scores 4 + 0 = 4 2: [Swahili] a small bird. Voted for by: Judy Madnick, Mike Shefler FROM Efrem Mallach who voted 10 and 11, and scores 2 + 0 = 2 3: [Maori] a being, a soul. Voted for by nobody FROM Tim Lodge who voted 1 and *9*, and scores 0 + 2 = 2* 4: [Swahili] a baby elephant. Voted for by: Judy Madnick, Tony Abell FROM Mike Shefler who voted 2 and 10, and scores 2 + 0 = 2 5: a hot, dry northeast wind of Cape Town. Voted for by nobody FROM Tony Abell who voted 1 and 4, and scores 0 + 0 = 0 6: a feudal lord of Japan who was a large landowner. Voted for by: Guerri Stevens FROM Chris Carson who didn't vote, and scores 1 + 0 = 1 7: a Maori greeting in which noses are pressed together. Voted for by nobody FROM Shani Naylor who DQ'ed, and scores 0 + 0 = 0 8: [Viet.]. a river (see _Ngaio Mekong_, a river in Viet Nam) Voted for by: Keith Hale FROM Dave Cunningham who voted 1 and *9*, and scores 1 + 2 = 3* 9: a small New Zealand tree with edible fruit and light white timber.
