[Dixonary] Round 2856 time to vote for MEGH
A short list of only 10 defs this time. One really came from the
dictionary. (Reminder - the word is MEGH). Vote for your 2 favorites no later than 10 AM, EST, Tuesday, December 12. 1. an Assyrian rock carving. 2. a kind of precious stone credited with magical properties. 3. former abbreviation for "megahertz," eventually simplified to "mgh." 4. the big toe. 5. [Sc.] in whisky production, the product of the first coarse grinding of the malt to prepare it for fermentation. 6. a linn, waterfall or source of a stream. 7. a counting marker on a Sumerian abacus. 8. a low-lying meadow in a river valley. 9. one of several kinds of sand fly. 10. [Arabic] a junk yard. [a generalised version of _megh-car_ which was a vast heap of British army officers' cars totally unsuited to desert conditions which were abandoned near Basra after being bulldozed into a heap by the BEF in 1915] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
