Default [Dixonary] Round 2865 SIMORG results

Our round is over! Thank you all for understanding as I figured this out.
Seems like a standard round, near as I can tell, with a few bluffed
definitions with closely clustered meanings, two of which were also similar
to the dictionary definition. I'm sorry about the delays as I fumble
through the rigmarole of posting and tabulating. As always, I welcome any
corrections.

Da Winnah is Nancy Shepherdson, with a sweet Natural 4. Runner-up is Dave
Cunningham, the only one to see through the ruse, who scored a mutant 4.

1) a snub or rebuff.
Voted for by no one.
Provided by Christopher Carson, who did not vote and scores 0 points.

2) rigid or unyielding.
Voted for by Shani Naylor.
Provided by Guerri Stevens, who voted for 7 & 9 and scores 1 point.

3) a rather large newt of Papua New Guinea.
Voted for by Tim Lodge.
Provided by Mike Shefler, who voted for 11 & 12 and scores 1 point.

4) a scentless mayweed or scentless chamomile.
Voted for by no one.
Provided by John Barrs, who voted for 9 & 11 and scores 1 point.

5) a mythical beast, somewhat similar to a unicorn.
Voted for by Nancy Goat & Efrem Mallach.
Provided by Dave Cunningham, who voted for 6 & 10 (the dictionary
definition) and scores 4 points.

6) a mythical beast with the head of a ram and body of a human.
Voted for by Dave Cunningham, Keith Hale, Judy Madnick, and Efrem Mallach.
Provided by Nancy Shepherdson, who did not vote and scores a Natural 4
points.

7) a ridge formed by wind erosion parallel to prevailing winds.
Voted for by Keith Hale, Shani Naylor, and Guerri Stevens.
Provided by Judy Madnick, who voted for 6 & 8 and scores 3 points.

8) a robotic monkey, built as a demonstration of Japanese technology.
Voted for by Tim Bourne, Nancy Goat, and Judy Madnick.
Provided by Tim Lodge, who voted for 3 & 12 and scores 3 points.

9) a membranous fold that supports an organ and keeps it in position.
Voted for by John Barrs, Tim Bourne, and Guerri Stevens.
Provided by Keith Hale, who voted for 6 & 7 and scores 3 points.

10) (also simurgh) a huge ancient bird of Persian legend, credited with
possessing great wisdom.
Voted for by Dave Cunningham.
Provided by Merriam-Webster via
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simorg, choice and spelling
inspired by George A. Gaskell's Dictionary of All Scriptures and Myths,
which was the closest dictionary when I had to find a word to re-deal, also
available online at https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofalls00gask but
whose definition was nearly incomprehensible. That makes this round a D1.

11) a widely used 1960s-era computer program that implemented Forrester's
System Dynamics concepts (from SIMulation in ORGanizations).
Voted for by John Barrs & Mike Shefler.
Provided by Efram Mallach, who voted for 5 & 6 and scores 2 points.

12) (also symorg) An organisation set up to support a commercial or public
service organisation, often by providing volunteer assistance.
Voted for by Tim Lodge & Mike Shefler.
Provided by Tim Bourne, who voted for 8 & 9 and scores 2 points.

I'm going to skip a fancy table so this goes up sooner. I'm curious how
people feel about the whole alternate-spelling business that was prevalent
this round.

Thanks for the fun.
Rx.
