a:link {color: #0000FF;} a:visited {color: #800080;} body { font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; color: #000000; background-color: FFFFFF; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 0px; }

I don't see my definition, and I'm sure everyone would have voted for it — not!



 



I'll vote for these:



 



8. A white-flowered plant of the violet family, Viola labradorica, with medicinal properties. 



and



10.. The gill-like structures of efts and other amphibian larvae

Judy, I did receive it so I must have lost it transferring it from excel to
gmail. I hope this problem doesn't become a major complication. I will
award you 2 points for my error.

defs defining one unknown word with another word I didn't know cause me
to vote for #9 -- all the others are marvellous and realising that there
must be an esoteric word for the phenomenon I'll add #12

The more I stared at these defs, the less I believed any of them! I'll
take a stab at 2 and 12.

2. A bald man

12. A child past the age of 14 years, and beginning to be stirred
with lechery

This looks enough like a 400+ year-old English transliteration of an
Indigenous American tongue. So 4 & 6 seem possible.
