First!

 

11 in honor of whatever dictionary or player decided to add “strikingly” to a definition, and the other def representing a vocalization, 8.

 

[Paul Keating]

5 & 13, being the only defs that plausibly account for the headword being plural not singular.

[Debbie]

5 or 8

Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!

My apologies to the players for not checking back in a timely manner. I last
looked at Dixonary email when Dave Cunningham had just been declared the
dealer. It never occurred to me that the deal would later fall to me with my
paltry 3 points. I could insist on hand recounts and issue legal challenges
without end, but since Mike has generously stepped up, there is already no
need. My thanks to Mike for stepping up to deal.

Anyway, for the current game I'll throw votes at 5 and 13:

> 5. long side whiskers.

[Tim B]

5 and 14, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[Tim Lodge]

After much deliberation, 2 and 9 please.

          2.  one way of referring to the first decade of a century, in American English, such as the 2000s. See also aughts, naughties.

          9.  [from Dutch] a short stick used for stirring clothes in a washtub.

Mike - I’m going to go with Dutch-ish, 1 and 9

(and parenthetical kudos to #11 for ingenuity if not plausibility)
