[Dixonary] Round 2999 AULACOGEN Results
I thought AULACOGEN was a good word, as I could see no possible etymology.
The OED says it comes from the ancient Greek for 'furrow' via Russian. It means, as four far-sighted playes guessed, a rift valley. You all came up with some imaginative defs. It's fitting that our long-serving statistician, Mike Shefler, should take the honour of dealing Round 3000. He got 6 votes for his fungal defence mechanism. The real winner is Judy Madnick, who got an unnatural 5 for her biocompatible polysaccharide. Over to you, Mike. -- Tim L *** AULACOGEN *** 1. Nitrogen.
