2. Anglo-Saxon communal liturgy.

3. [New England sl.] hip-high lace-up boots.

4. hills and ridges of erosion-resistant rock rising above a
peneplain.

5. a lace tulle-like fabric for the highest class Elizabethan collars.


6. treatment of disease conducted by tickling the soles of the feet
with a feather.

7. protrusions on the dorsal surface of a person or animal,
reflecting the shape of the underlying vertebrae.

the undergrowth through which it has passed. Also _*figurative*_ and in
figurative contexts.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3226 MEDRINACKS Defs - Vote Now
 
I'll have 8 and 12, please, though I don't really believe any of them.

I don't know what's happening to messages from this group, but I seem to be
missing a lot of them. This time round I didn't see the announcement of the
replacement word, though the reminder did arrive. I still haven't received
the call for voting, and had to go to the Web site to find it and vote.
Best wishes,
Tim Bourne

If it quacks like a duck, it probably has feathers. (I hope Paul adds that
to the *Real Rules* as a legitimate reason for voting for other than words
one thinks are the correct def.)

1 and 6.

6, because it's totally implausible, and 12, to give someone a point for writing a lot.
