ROUND 3144 - KANTIKOY - VOTE NOW!

[Judy Madnick]

Here are 13 definitions for the word KANTIKOY 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  Sunday, February 22, at 10 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 -

I'll vote later, but meanwhile:

1. You didn't say what time zone the 10 am deadline is in, and the link goes to a general conversion page that doesn't have a specific time pre-loaded. Is it 10 am in your usual U.S. EDT?

2. Sunday is the 21st; the 22nd is Monday. I'm guessing you meant Sunday, since a Monday deadline would mean an unusually long 72-hour voting period, but could you please confirm that too?

Thanks for clarifying,

Efrem

========================

[Judy Madnick]

Thanks for catching that. I sent a revised email, but it would be 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Arrggghhh! I missed the date error. Sunday, the 21st at 10 a.m. EST.

3 and 10, but I don't find any of these believable.

[Ryan McGill]

6 and 10 will do.

[Tony Abell]

I'll throw my wild guesses at 6 and 11:

> 6. a selection from Psalms sung during the first, second or third antiphon in Greek Orthodox worship.

Rejecting anything musical/dance related or Greek, I like 8 and 9
