Sorry for the delay in posting results. The correct definition was number 3,
to cover with a protective coating. John Barrs knew that and was DQ. Paul
Keating was the only player to guess the real definition, giving the dealer a
D1, which at least is better than I usually do. The next dealer is Judy
Madnick, who garnered 5 natural votes for her peeling of bark verb,
essentially the opposite of the dictionary choice. Efrem Mallach is the
runner-up and real winner with 4 points.
Take it away, Judy!
