[Dixonary] Round 3262 ULPIC Results
 
I've got back earlier than expected from today's event, and all those who
submitted a def, plus three of those who didn't, have voted, so I'm closing
the round early. First and last was a popular voting choice this time, and
that not only zeroed in on the real def - the kind of leek - but also
awarded Shani a magnificent 8 votes for her Icelandic fermented shark.
Shani takes the next deal, leaving Paul Keating as the relieved runner-up
with an unnatural 5, and me with a D5.

Over to you, Shani.

*~Bending under the weight of His mercies~*
The words of Zechariah the Prophet, “And I will pour out on the house of
David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They
will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as
one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves
for a firstborn son."

The notion of a tax on clergymen's mistresses clearly appealed to some
players. It did in fact exist. But it was called *cuIlagium:*
