Default [Dixonary] Rnd 3134 Results

Well, nearly the last def submitted was Efrem which was very near the
true def but I decided that it was sufficiently different to keep them
separate - I |(#6) received a D5 while Efrem scored an unnatural 9Â*
which gives him the next deal and Dave C is the real winnah

Thanks for the answer to crayfish... I guess over here our problem is
that your nasty crawfish outcompete our nice crayfish and ours are
becoming rarer - linguistically both forms have been known since
AngloNorman times - here is a note from OED (make of it what you will)
---
In Southern Middle English the second syllable was naturally confounded
with /vish/ (written /viss/ in Ayenbite), ‘fish’; whence the corrupted
forms under β and γ, and the later /crey-/, /cray-fish/. The variants in
/cra-/ go back to Anglo-Norman when the stress was still on second
syllable, and the first liable to vary between /cre-/ and /cra-/; they
are the origin of the modern /craw-fish/, now used chiefly in U.S.

------

Over to you Efrem
