ROUND 3257 - KAKAKI - VOTE NOW!

[Judy Madnick]

    Here are 10 definitions for the word KAKAKI shared exactly as I received them -- but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group for what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is Wednesday, June 9, at 6 p.m. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition. 

 

Good luck!

 

1. a Japanese military attack by two coordinated forces that close in on an enemy position from different directions.

 

2. a brilliantly colored yellow and black fish, closely related to the reef triggerfish.

 

3. [Hawai'i] a male hula dancer.

 

4. A three- to four-metre long metal trumpet used in Hausa traditional ceremonial music.

 

5. African cloth woven with bright wavy colours.

 

6. a semi-poisonous Central American tree frog _Cruziohyla sylviae_.

 

7. In Filipino cookery: very long, thin noodles made with rice flour. Also: a dish made with such noodles.

 

8. The traditional male tattoo of Hawaii.

 

9. A smooth-skinned lizard _Hatteria punctata_ of New Zealand. 

 

10. Untouchable; unclean.

I also feel for fish and frogs. 2 and 6 please. Though I don't believe any of them. I particularly don't believe a colour can be wavy.

[Paul Keating]

FWIW, Dan's is the only message in this conversation that I can see in
my mailbox. I can't see Nancy's original message or other replies to
it.

Too bad you can't see my def in the list, which was so unbelievable Judy didn't even think it was a def. __

2 and 5, but I'm disappointed there are no kakaki birds on the list. Kaaa-kahhh-keee

Here's a kakariki parrot. I hope that will do.

I don't find any of them particularly credible (except my own, of course), but I'll go with 1 and 8 for lack of better inspiration.
