Default [Dixonary] Round 3204: FARL [Call for votes]

*

The extra time yielded a few more definitions: you now have a baker’s
dozen farls to choose from. Editing on my part has been no more than
regularization of initial capitals and final points, so if there is any
remaining error, it is entirely the definer’s fault.

Please vote for two, in reply to this message, by the deadline, which is
Thursday 21 October 21h00 CEST

or 47 hours from time of posting. Having extended the submission phase
to 3 days, I will happily close the voting phase as soon as all of the
expected votes are in. In the interests of brisk progress and a snappy
game, please vote early, vote twice, and maybe we can be done before that.
