Default [Dixonary] Round 3024 - OAKUS - VOTE NOW!

Here are 14 definitions for the word OAKUS -- but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group for what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is Friday, November 1, at 9 a.m. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition.

Good luck!

Judy Madnick
Albany, NY

1. (Latin) one who is quarrelsome.
2. a small dam or weir for regulating the flow of water from a pond into a stream.
3. a mixture of tar and pitch, formerly used to seal the hulls of wooden vessels.
4. a short outline or summary; a synopsis.
5. a morbid bony growth on the pastern bones of a horse, often resulting in lameness.
6. a gray-green sheet or carpet moss.
7. a skin infection characterized by rough, scaly patches.
8. an efflorescence or discoloration of the skin.
9. an old and fruitless branch of a vine. [Obs.]
10. one of the four soil types: clay, sandy, oakus, and chalky.
11. the sap of several species of trees, used as a sealant or adhesive.
12. the American red oak, Quercus Lobatae [common name in horticulture].
13. wallet; pocket billfold.
14. [Oen.] the active flavoring tannins imparted to wine by ageing in oak barrels.

Judy -

Not a vote, quite yet, but the time zone converter link in your message isn't specific to any one time zone. Can you confirm that the 9 am you gave us is in your home zone of U.S. EDT, or tell us which time zone you meant?

Thanks,

Efrem

I’ll go for 15 and 16, the next two defs not listed since you clearly didn’t include the real one.



Or if that’s not allowed, I guess I’ll start at the beginning and pick the first two that amuse me to any degree, which means 1 (latin) and 3 (formerly).

Default [Dixonary] Round 3024 - OAKUS - VOTE NOW!

I thought it must be an acronym - The Organisation of American Knights of
the United States? I think not!

I'll try 4 and 5.

4. a short outline or summary; a synopsis.


5. a morbid bony growth on the pastern bones of a horse, often resulting in
lameness.

Subject: [Dixonary] Round 3024 - OAKUS - VOTE NOW!

Here are 14 definitions for the word OAKUS -- but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group for what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is Friday, November 1, at 9 a.m. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition.

Good luck!
