[Dixonary] Round 2865 SIMORG definitions
 

Okay everybody, here are your fake definitions, carefully hiding something real relating to the word SIMORG. Vote for any two you like for any reason you choose, including that you think it might be the dictionary definition. Voting is done by public reply to this post.

Definitions here are arranged in order of character length and then alphabetically, as we had two pairs of definitions exactly the same length.

You do not need to have supplied a definition to vote.


1) a snub or rebuff.

2) rigid or unyielding.

3) a rather large newt of Papua New Guinea.

4) a scentless mayweed or scentless chamomile.

5) a mythical beast, somewhat similar to a unicorn.

6) a mythical beast with the head of a ram and body of a human.

7) a ridge formed by wind erosion parallel to prevailing winds.

8) a robotic monkey, built as a demonstration of Japanese technology.

9) a membranous fold that supports an organ and keeps it in position.

10) (also simurgh) a huge ancient bird of Persian legend, credited with possessing great wisdom.

11) a widely used 1960s-era computer program that implemented Forrester's System Dynamics concepts (from SIMulation in ORGanizations).

12) (also symorg) An organisation set up to support a commercial or public service organisation, often by providing volunteer assistance.

Deadline for voting will be as follows:
Friday, 19 January, 1700 PST (5pm)
Friday, 19 January, 2000 EST (8pm)
Saturday, 20 January, 0000 GMT (midnight)
Saturday, 20 January, 0100 CET (1am)
Saturday, 20 January, 1100 EAST (11am)

I think I may have flubbed the Australian time zone abbreviation, as if I leave this window, it will undo all my typing.

Feel free to correct me if I got any of this wrong. Good luck, and happy voting!

Re: [Dixonary] Round 2865 SIMORG definitions
 

I'll kick this off & vote for the fairly simple 2 & 7:

2) rigid or unyielding.

7) a ridge formed by wind erosion parallel to prevailing winds.

BTW, Ryan, I tried to send you a def, but as I was sending to hotmail
rather than gmail, it's not surprising you didn't receive it.

RE: [Dixonary] Round 2865 SIMORG definitions
 

As usual, I wish I could vote for three definitions.

I'll go with these:

6) a mythical beast with the head of a ram and body of a human.

8) a robotic monkey, built as a demonstration of Japanese technology.
