[Dixonary] Round 2948 - MABA Results

My apologies for the delay in posting results.

John Barrs knew the word (actually, he knew many meanings of maba) and was DQ.
Dave Cunningham was the only player to guess the definition presented here,
the tropical tree with botanically-described flowers and ebony-like wood,
which netted him 3 unnatural points. That paltry score made him the real
winner, since, other than Tim Lodge, no one else scored more than two. Tim's
corny porridge earned him five natural, giving him the deal.

Take it away, Tim!
