[Dixonary] Rd. 2878: Defs up for ama!
Hi all,
Well, this one is seemingly going off without a hitch, featuring a word from a cryptic crossword (confirmed by a hard-cover dictionary, of all things). We have a baker's dozen of definitions for ama, one of which is the real one. Please vote for your favorite two, without looking it up, by the deadline: Midnight EDT Tuesday March 13, which is 11 p.m. the same day CDT and 5 a.m. GMT on Wednesday March 14. I'm stretching the deadline a bit to give everyone a chance to vote since I am posting later than I said I would. So here are the wonderful, clever definitions. Please forgive me if the spacing or type size is odd -- it is insignificant but seemingly impossible to correct-- and start voting! Nancy 1. 1. a dam or weir in a river for keeping fish or taking them easily. 2. 2. a robe worn by Tamil women in southern India and Sri Lanka. 3. 3. In the early Christian church, a vessel for mixing and storing wine for the Eucharistic service. 4. 4. [Scots] grandmother (as a term of endearment). 5. a wet nurse. 6. a photomicrograph. 7. 7. Money set aside for charitable donations. 8. A talking drum of Senegalese origin. 9. 9. (Maori) Essential life force. 10. Aunt. 11. a loved one. 12. [Str. Chinese] a woman employed by a family as a live-in childminder; a nanny. 13. a follower or supporter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
