Hey, everyone!        
        
We have an unspecified number of inventive definitions for SITH, some of which have been combined, to yield these 7, which have been mildly edited for consistency in formatting and then sorted in alphabetical order. Any errors remaining are surely artifacts of my intervention.

One of these definitions was verified by a dictionary source. The remainder were clever deceptions dreamed up by your fellow players. Please vote for two by public reply to this message.        

1. a brimless cap.
2. easily procured. [Not used.]
3. the eighth chakra in the Buddhist meditation system, corresponding to the moment just before achievement of nirvana.
4. a group of ornamental ponds arranged in a formal design. 
5. [Bot.] in a flower, the point at which the anther attaches to the filament.
6. a name for plants of the genus Nigella - especially N sativa; sometimes applied to the corncockle Agrostemma githago.
7. [rare] variant of since.     

I have checked my SPAM folder, and the only messages I received were offers to augment my income or my love life, so I'm relatively certain none of them came from anyone on this forum (aside from the bots). If I still somehow missed your definition, please let me know.

Those new to the game may vote, as may veteran players and those who did not submit a definition. But do please vote before looking the word up.        

Deadline for voting shall be 00:01 UTC on Wednesday, the 25th of December, 2019, provided that gives enough leeway. You can verify your local time here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SITH+voting+ends&iso=20191225T0001&p1=1440

Cheers,        
Rx.

Darn, I forgot to send a definition. Was there a progress email sent? That's always a good reminder...especially with so few definitions. Maybe I missed an email???

I don't see my def (sent on Sun 22/12/2019 at 13:41 UTC) here, nor do I see any def it might have been combined with.  In any case, I must be terribly honest and declare myself DQ, as I inadvertently came across SITH just now in a quotation on the OED page for another word.

More than 6 hours late, but since I don't see results posted yet, I will offer
my votes: 2 and 7:

> 2. easily procured. [*Not used.*]

Sorry Judy,

I failed to make a progress post. Things always seem to be quite hectic when I deal, and since I do almost all my interaction via the Google Groups website, some of the non-mandatory but still largely customary practices (specifically the "got it" emails and the update notices) don't come so intuitively to my process.

I'll analyze what I'm doing here and see if I can find a more effective way of making that work.

Sorry, Tim. I’ll update it. It’s not showing up in the group for some reason.
