Default [Dixonary] Round 2825 SYCHT Defs - Vote Now!

Well, we've managed to keep the grandchildren occupied for a few hours with
lunch in Yo Sushi followed by shelf-gazing in the toy department of our
local department store. When I got back my computer announced that it was
doing the Windows 10 Creator's Update, which led to a further delay.
Anyway, here are 13 defs of the word SYCHT, only one of which came from my
dictionary. Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this
message before the deadline of:

09:00 UTC/GMT on Sunday 13th August
10:00 BST
11:00 noon CET
5:00 AM EST
2:00 AM PST
19:00 AEST in Melbourne
21:00 NZDT in New Zealand

-- Tim L

*** SYCHT ***

1. Named or called.

2. fork-tailed gull.

3. The larva of the tent caterpillar.

4. sight, especially that of a fortune teller.

5. the catch mechanism on a child-safe bottle.

6. A] Bio-luminescent light. B] St. Elmo's light.

7. _Sc. Obs._ The front parts of a gown, coat, etc.

8. a flash flood in a wadi or other usually dry stream bed.

9. The optical distortion of the sun or moon near the horizon.

10. A large, fat variety of the namaycush found in Lake Superior

11. A Polish unit of weight, equal to approx. 14 oz; the Polish

sycht*_")]

I like the derivation from "sight," so I'll try 4 and 12 - probably the wrong choices from that group.
