1.  rough limestone country with underground drainage.

2.  (a) A tidal flood which regularly or occasionally rushes into certain

Hoogly and Indus, in India, and the Tsien-tang, in China. (b) Less

as occurs at the Bay of Fundy and in the British Channel.

Absolutely clueless.

I guess I'll just throw my points at the authors of #5 and #11

Cheers,
Hugo

PS: I don't see my def. Did you never receive my mail, or did I miss the deadline?

If you sent it to sta...@salsgiver.com I did not receive it. I didn't see it at my alternate email either - stampsb...@gmail.com. I didn't see your reply to the dixonary group either. I don't know why you're being censored. But you are (at least to me).

I am extending the voting deadline to Monday, August 12 at 9 AM EDT since so many people have not yet voted (Widdis, Stevens, Carson, McGill, Barrs).

Very strange. Do you have a spam filter that might be intercepting my mails?

I sent my def to sta...@salsgiver.com, on August 10, 9:17 AM local (Dutch) time.
See attached mail from my sent items folder.

It probably wouldn't have attracted any votes anyway. <shrug>

But I do hope we can get this sorted out before your next deal.

Cheers,
Hugo

I think that's the good feature of the progress email, assuming that a definition is sent before that's posted, and an email confirming that a definition has been received.

Subject: Re: [Dixonary] Round 3005 new word - PADDO
Hi Mike,

The Dutch word "paddo" is used for mushrooms with hallucinogenic properties. I would not be surprised if that word somehow made it unchanged into the English language, so if I see any def related to this meaning I will have to DQ myself.


Here's my fake def, though.

    A device used in BDSM sex play to force the wearer's mouth to stay wide open.


Good luck on the deal!

Cheers,
Hugo

Thanks for the extension.  9 and 11 because they make no sense.

Mike,

I have voted but I will re vote (I feel so confident of my selections that it is a vain  hope that the new votes are the same as my last attempt)

#4 and #11
