Round 3204: FARL [Call for votes]
Paul Keating
The extra time yielded a few more definitions: you now have a baker’s dozen farls to choose from. Editing on my part has been no more than regularization of initial capitals and final points, so if there is any remaining error, it is entirely the definer’s fault.
Please vote for two, in reply to this message, by the deadline, which is Thursday 21 October 21h00 CEST, or 47 hours from time of posting. Having extended the submission phase to 3 days, I will happily close the voting phase as soon as all of the expected votes are in. In the interests of brisk progress and a snappy game, please vote early, vote twice, and maybe we can be done before that.
1. A hexagonal paving tile or stone.
2. A tangle, said of hair; a rat’s nest.
3. A medieval Scandinavian chieftain or nobleman.
4. A sensory organ that guides food into the mouth of an insect.
5. The senior earl in in a country who represents the king if he is abroad.
6. The outermost of three layers of cereal bran left over after processing of Nigerian fermented grain, used for animal feed.
7. Scottish. Originally, the fourth part of a thin cake made either of flour or oatmeal; now applied to a cake of similar kind and size, whether quadrant-shaped or not [contraction for fardel, representing Old English fēorða dǣl ‘fourth part’].
8. In medieval times, a tenant farmer with specific rights; a medieval lord could not evict a farl nor hire labour to replace him without legal cause.
9. A musical stringed instrument, similar in form to a guitar. It is now obsolete.
10. The first distillation of a fermented mash in the making of whiskey.
11. High protein grain often used in Caribbean cuisine.
12. To store rope in coils, tied about the middle.
13. To turn on the spot; to spin round.

There is now no prospect, as far as I can see, of a single strategic vote making a difference to the outcome of this round that would benefit the voter (for any sensible value of benefit).
So please vote and let us get going.
