Default [Dixonary] Rd. 2988: Vote now for ANTA!

Hi all,


Very sorry for the delay in posting. I had some health issues yesterday
and went to bed early – totally forgetting to post until just now. I
really hope this is a correct list but the omens are fairly bad --
forgetting to post, pouring down rain outside, but I'm hoping everything is
well. Forgive any formatting problems. I had a struggle to post it
correctly.


Anyway,we have 14 definitions to choose from, only one of which is the
right one. Please vote for two of these lovely definitions before 10 p.m.
CDT on Wednesday June 5. That’s 11 p.m. EDT, same day. 4 a.m. on Thursday
June 6 GMT. I'm extending the deadline a bit because I have to give a talk
on Wednesday evening.


Happy voting!

Nancy

2. [Arch.] a small block used as a repeating decorative element,
e.g., under an eave.

3. the inky cap mushroom when the edges have turned up and the gills

4. [Gael.] a waterfall.

such enamel work.

I'm with John B. on architecture, but I'll take the nickel-and-dime answer(s): 5 and 10.

Oddly, I find a lot of these believable.

4 & 8, for my usual reasons.

4. [Gael.] a waterfall.
