[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 1. A morbid fear of exams. 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 have begun to deliquesce 4. [Gael.] a waterfall. 5. The primary entrance to a theater or opera house. 6. duress of some kind. 7. [Geol.] a high plain between two mountain ranges. 8. wooden-soled Japanese shoe 9. A ridge with a gentle slope on one side and a cliff on the other. 10. A pier produced by thickening a wall at its termination. 11. [Chinese] a small, outdoor clay oven 12. Polish sour rye soup. 13. "Cash" coins minted with a center hole. 14. (Art) Having the ground engraved or cut out in the parts to be enameled; inlaid in depressions made in the ground; -- said of a kind of enamel work in which depressions made in the surface are filled with enamel pastes, which are afterward fired; also, designating the process of making such enamel work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
