And the winner is….. First, yes, it is about amber. The Dictionary definition is #6 “A kind of factitious amber, which the Europeans sell to the Africans” and it comes from Noah Webster’s An American Dictionary of the English Language, the first (1828) edition.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3129: AMBREADA results
This year demands extra celebration.* We’ve already celebrated the Solstice on Monday and Festivus yesterday. Today we’re doing the traditional big meal on Christmas Eve so we can relax more tomorrow, but we’ll add in a Boxing Day dinner on Saturday.* And a fantastic dinner is planned on New Year’s Eve to say goodbye to this **** of a year!

RE: [Dixonary] Round 3129: AMBREADA results
All – A very uneven round, which surprised me, because I thought an unusually large number of the defs submitted sounded plausible. First, the word is, once again, from the 1828 Noah Webster An American Dictionary of the English Language, and it means “a chiding, rebuke, reprehension.” For those of you who are interested, Webster’s traces its origin to Latin “increpatio.”
The dealer, by a landslide, is Johnny Barrs with 10 points. The winners are Paul Keating and Steve Dixon with six each, but Steve’s is a natural six. 1. Training an animal to be active during the day. Deborah Fein. No votes. Voted for 4 and 12. Score: 0 2. The commencement of morning (or occas. evening) twilight. Paul Keating.
