[Dixonary] Rd. 2960 Pice Results
In retrospect, it might have been better to find another word, since I got

Pice seems to be fairly well-known to close readers of Kipling. But it did lead to a very clear winner, Dave Cunningham, who guessed the definition and whose dirt attractive to infants garnered 6 unnatural points. The real winner was Ryan McGill, whose scrap got 3 natural points. So, Dave, the deal is yours. Nancy 1. Of or pertaining to the Pici, a primitive people of Campania, a province of ancient Italy.

It could also be the plural of "pouse," whatever a pouse is.
