Round 3580 - LEMURES Defs up

[Tony Abell]

Again, I must apologize for the delay.  I've been extremely busy and distracted.

Despite the extra time, we have only 9 definitions.

Find below 9 definitions of lemures, one of which comes from a dictionary.  The

remainder come from the fertile imaginations of the players.

Vote for two by way of a public response to this message before the deadline.

You may vote even if you did not submit a definition, but you may NOT vote if you

are disqualified (see the rules at http://www.dixonary.net). The voting deadline

shall be:

Friday, 09:00am EDT (New York) 19-Sep-2025

Friday, 06:00am PDT (San Francisco) 19-Sep-2025

Friday, 02:00pm BST (London) 19-Sep-2025

Friday, 03:00pm CEST (Brussels) 19-Sep-2025

Seems unlikely that 2 definitions are so similar, so I'll go with 1 and 7 also.

As I wrote privately earlier in an email to Tony that did, for once, not bounce, I know the word. I'm restating it because even though the email did not bounce, it may not have arrived, either. No point in holding things up.

I really did read all of them, but I'll go with 1 and 2 anyhow.
