to this one), before the deadline..

5:30 am on 31 Aug in parts of Oz


New Players are welcome, even if you didn't submit a definition you may
vote.

/Please note that there are only 13 definitions and that #7 is missing -
this is not a mistake (well, it is my mistake!)/

I almost feel like voting for 7, but I'll follow the mob and go for 10 and
11.

10. a thin layer of plaster applied with a repeating geometric pattern

11. a small block used as a repeating architectural element under a cornice
or eave

I don’t believe any of them, so I’ll vote for the missing real one (7) and the two cows (14, which I think the site was plural “cows” but I’ll thank that author for the trip down memory lane)
