Here are 14 definitions for the word OAKUS -- 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  Friday, November 1, at 9 a.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!

Judy -

Not a vote, quite yet, but the time zone converter link in your message isn't specific to any one time zone. Can you confirm that the 9 am you gave us is in your home zone of U.S. EDT, or tell us which time zone you meant?

Thanks,

Efrem

I’ll go for 15 and 16, the next two defs not listed since you clearly didn’t include the real one.

 

Or if that’s not allowed, I guess I’ll start at the beginning and pick the first two that amuse me to any degree, which means 1 (latin) and 3 (formerly).

I thought it must be an acronym - The Organisation of American Knights of the United States?  I think not!

I'll try 4 and 5.

4. a short outline or summary; a synopsis.


5. a morbid bony growth on the pastern bones of a horse, often resulting in lameness.
