Default [Dixonary] Round 2966 Voting time!

Hi all

We have a baker's dozen of definitions for our word du jour, KETCHEPILLAR.
Please vote for the two of your choice by 9pm NZT (which is around 36 hours
from now).

1. An exemplar.

2. A tennis player.

3. A curtain hung in a doorway.

4. A long-distance romantic relationship.

5. Pig-iron used as ballast in ship's hold.

6. [Tamil-English nonce word] a post-box.

7. A sweet spread or pastry filling made of prunes or apricots.

8. In South Asia, husks and broken straw, used as food for cattle.

9. A furrowing and planting module for use with a combine harvester.

10. An inclosing frame; esp. the framework around a door or a window.

11. In equestrian competition, a horse jump with two rails at different
heights.

12. A fitting on a gaff pole that allows the sail to be raised by a single
halyard.

13. A version of the Eton wall game where hitting [ketching] the umpire
[pillar] in the calx area of the court is penalised by the offender's team
losing possession of the ball.

Good luck!
