[Dixonary] Round 3262 ULPIC defs - Vote Now!
I've got a rather miserable total of only 8 defs for ULPIC. Because of my
schedule over the next few days, I'm going ahead with voting anyway, so your chances of hitting the real def are somewhat better than usual.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3262 ULPIC defs - Vote Now!
1 and 9 are clear vox pop, but I don't believe 9 because it sounds too much like the recipe for Norwegian gravlax. #5, as someone obliquely pointed out earlier, is a haggis as sold to any number of tourists in Scotland as a joke souvenir. (I'll be among that breed in mid-August, and hope to eat haggis at least once, but I won't get one of the little pottery beasts.) I also don't imagine that England and France would have collaborated on taxation before the Norman invasion. And I used to know the word for that Egyptian jar, probably from reading too many "Elizabeth Peters" Peabody/Emerson books, and I don't think it was this. Another gets eliminated because of what I think is a misspelling, though I could be wrong on that. It could be 1, though it probably isn't, so I'll vote 1 and 2.
