[Dixonary] Round 3073 HANAP voting time

[Efrem G Mallach]

Folks,

Thirteen definitions of HANAP  follow. One is correct. The rest are the products of your collective minds. They have been edited slightly for format consistency and are in ascending order of character count. That might not correspond precisely to visual length in your email display font.

Please vote for two you like for any reason by Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list. If you realize now that you know what HANAP means, let me know me by private email to emal...@verizon.net. Don't trust your email program to auto-fill my address from my name; that may send your message to the group.

The defs:

1. a petticoat.

2. a grooming tool.

3. [Turkey] cannabis.

4. a Mongolian saddle.

5. an Elizabethan hedge maze.

6. a commotion or disturbance.

7. a sabre-like weapon carried by Ottoman cavalry.

8. a rich goblet, esp. one used on state occasions.

9. a type of elongated spur used by the Zaporozhian Cossacks of central Ukraine.

10. [Indonesian] a spicy rice porridge seasoned with cloves, coriander and chilis (Malaysia, Henap; Thai, Kenap)

11. a fabric made from 50% polyester thread and 50% audiocassette tape. Sounds recorded on the tape can be picked up with an old Sony Walkman® rigged to be a sonic fabric player.

12. the ethnolinguistic group indigenous to the Hana Islands of the Philippines, which divide the Subu and Celebes Seas, and the language thereof. Within the Hanap language, the word "hanap" is used to signify sharing, togetherness, or a unifying trait.

13. an orchid living in symbiotic association with very aggressive ants. The ants live in the hollow bulbils of the orchid where they rear aphids for honeydew and protect the orchid by attacking anything that approaches the plant. Small predators form part of their diet but they have very painful bites and can protect the orchid even from human collectors. The only other insect allowed near is a night-flying moth which fertilizes the orchid.

Votes are due about 47 hours from now: Sunday, May 17, at 9 am US EDT. According to timeanddate.com, that is:

and other times in other places. Please check any time conversion that applies to you. That site is good, but nobody's perfect.

New players are welcome to vote, as are old friends who happened not to submit a definition this time. The only requirement is that you not know what the word means. Full rules at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules .

Vote away!

With very little confidence of being right, I'll vote for 6 and 9.

6. a commotion or disturbance.

9. a type of elongated spur used by the Zaporozhian Cossacks of central Ukraine.

9 and 13 as being absurd.

11, 12 and 13 strike me as totally absurd (one is probably the real one, though), the others only moderately less so. That said, I’ll go with 4 and 7.

7 because I believe it and 13 because I want to know what the real word for that is.

 

[Tony Abell]

No ideas, so 1 and 4:

> 1. a petticoat.

> 4. a Mongolian saddle.

[Ryan McGill]

6 & 13, but I don't believe any of them.

6. a commotion or disturbance.
