[Efrem G Mallach]

 Fellow Dixonarists (or is it Dixonaristi?),

Thirteen definitions of LEISTER follow. Despite what you may think, and what some of you will predictably say, one of them is correct. The rest are your creations. They have been edited slightly for format consistency and are in ascending order by character count. That might not correspond to visual length in your email display font. 

Please vote for two by Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list. If you realize on seeing the definitions that you know what LEISTER means, let me know by private email to emal...@verizon.net.  

1. [Scot.] a jute dealer.

2. a lightweight cotton quilt.

3. [Brit. slang] a baked bean sandwich.

4. [Lancs.] a patchy morning fog or mist.

5. [Naut.] slow in going about, as a ship.

6. a fishing spear with three barbed prongs.

7. a crumbly reddish-coloured cheese made of cow's milk.

8. a fine-grained quartzite used to line refractory furnaces.

and other times in other places. 

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