Default [Dixonary] Game 2943 -- Clepsydras -- Definitions

Here are your choices like them, love them or doubt them. Please have your
votes in by Tuesday at 3:00 PM Eastern time, USA.

************************************************** *******************************************
1. (Geom.) One of the portions of a curve that extends outwards to an
indefinitely great distance; as, the branches of an hyperbola.

2. [Egypt Middle Kingdom] An early name for Thebes (later Luxor).

3. A carnivorous plant native to the tropical wetlands of Brazil, Bolivia
and Paraguay.

4. The sound of an under-ground stream (literally 'hidden water').

5. A form of Greek lyric poetry in the Aeolic family, characterized by
strophe and epode having the same metrical pattern.

6. An ancient device that measured time by marking the regulated flow of
water through a small opening.

7. (Also honeydew) A sweet and sticky secretion of certain caterpillars
such as the Japanes oak blue caterpillar [Narathura japonica].

8. A tropical disease spread by the larvae of the tumbu fly, causing liver
damage in humans.

9. A mermaid.

10. An evergreen shrub of warm, arid regions that has trailing or climbing
stems and tiny, scale like leaves.

11. A venereal disease caused by the bacterium _Haemophilus ducreyi_ and
characterized by chancres on the genitalia and proximal areas.

12. [Volcanology] A deep magma subduction zone.

13. A series of symbolic body postures and hand movements used in Classical
Greek dance.

*Good luck, all! *

*~Bending under the weight of His mercies~*


*This life is temporary. This life is short. When this life is over, our
bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to
live forever. Where will the “real you” live? Will you live for all
eternity separated from God? Or will you spend eternity in the presence of
God in heaven? Learn more so you can make your most important decision:
