Folks,

Fifteen definitions of EDAPHIC  follow, a goodly amount. One is correct. The rest are your concoctions. They have been edited slightly for format consistency and are in ascending order of character count, which might not correspond to visual length in your email display font.

Please vote for two you like for any reason by Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list. If you realize now that you know what EDAPHIC means, let me know me by private email to emal...@verizon.net. Don't trust your email program to auto-fill my address from my name; that may send your message to the group. (As you may have read in other group correspondence, I was going to fix the problem after Round 3041, but this deal showed up before I had a chance to. Once again, I don't want to fiddle with things in mid-deal.) Just make sure that a disqualification message, should you send one, shows my personal address in its To field.

The defs:

1. limp.

2. solitary.

3. that which uplifts.

4. merely mechanical; routine.

5. of or related to soil conditions.

6. [Geom.] a curve of double curvature

7. a hurriedly drawn caricature of a person. 

8. pleasing in appearance; attractive; comely.

9. of the Icelandic poems or eddas; also EDDAPHIC.

10. of or related to unpasteurized cheeses (EU regulation CD2101.35 rev. 47).

11. delayed beyond what is expected on average, such as a reaction to a stimulus.

12. [Math.] in topology, any manifold that conforms to the Poincaré duality theorem.

13. seeming to last or persist forever, especially on account of being tedious or annoying.

14. the principles, theories, or methodology of scholarly historical research and presentation.

15. plants that detach from their root stem and roll with the wind to disperse their seeds; examples are knapweed (Centaurea diffusa) and "baby's breath" (Gypsophyllia paniculata).

Votes are due about 47 hours from now: Sunday, Jan. 19, at 9 pm US EST. According to timeanddate.com, that is:


and other times in other places. Please check any time conversion that applies to you. That site is good, but nobody's perfect.

New players are welcome to vote, as are old friends who happened not to submit a definition this time. The only requirement is that you not know what the word means. Full rules at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules .

Vote on!

I may have been the last def submitted and I’ll follow up with the first vote(s).

 

10 for cheese (Go Pack go) and 12 for topology.

Although I doubt that one of these is correct, I always enjoy math definitions (especially when I have no other idea!), so...:
 
6. [Geom.] a curve of double curvature
 
12. [Math.] in topology, any manifold that conforms to the Poincaré duality theorem.

First of all, 14 is a little bit 13. And 15 definitely is.

That said, I'll take #2 - solitary

and      # 4 - merely mechanical

2  &  4

With the right music, you either forget everything...OR, you remember everything.

I'll try for the two unpopular opposites, 1 and 3:

> 1. limp.

> 3. that which uplifts.
