Default [Dixonary] Round 3099 PAHAN voting time

Folks,

Fourteen definitions of PAHAN follow. One is, believe it or not, correct. The rest are products of your devious minds. They have been edited slightly for format consistency and are in ascending order by character count. That might not correspond to visual length in your email display font.

Please vote for two by Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list. If you realize on seeing the definitions that you know what PAHAN means, let me know by private email to emallach (AT) verizon (DOT) net <mailto:emallach (AT) verizon (DOT) net>.

1. a low wooden-framed bedstead.

2. [Sanskrit] a grandfather or uncle.

3. a shallow, oval, earthenware casserole.

4. the practice of polygamy among the Hmong.

5. a slow, mournful dance in 3/4 or 6/8 time.

6. a large, loosely-knitted scarf, worn by women about the head.

7. a larval jellyfish after it has separated from the scyphistoma.

8. a village priest of Sarna Dhorom, the related indigenous religions of the Munda peoples of South Asia.

9. a crescent-shaped shifting sand dune, convex on the windward side and steeper and concave on the leeward.

10. [Hist.] a Turkish official who had care of the horses in a cavalry regiment [Turkish < Pers. peḥan, farrier]

11. a Turkish musical instrument consisting of a wooden box with top tongues of bamboo or iron which the performer vibrates with the thumb and forefingers.

12. [Hindi] a mixture of ground betel nuts Areca palm wrapped in betel leaves Piper chewed as a relaxant throughout southern Asia. It is psychoactive and highly addictive.

13. a tribal people of Northwestern Burma, with small populations in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and in southern China; also, the hereditary ruler of the Pahan people.

14. healing or comfort; from Pahan, emperor of China c.1380 BCE (CY 1315), who was known for establishing a period of peace and unity following several emperors whose reigns were characterized by a great civil war.

Votes are due a bit less than 46 hours from now. I'll go by the top row of the following table. The others are conversions by timeanddate.com <http://timeanddate.com/>. (Kiwis please note: that's the midnight at the beginning of Friday, not the midnight at its end - that is, 11:59 pm Thursday plus one minute.)



and other times in other places. Please check any time conversion that applies to you. That site's good, but nobody's perfect.

New players are welcome to vote, as are old friends who didn't submit a definition. The only requirement is that you not know what the word means. Full rules at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules <http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules> .

Vote away!
