[Judy Madnick]

I don't see my definition, and I'm sure everyone would have voted for it — not!

 

I'll vote for these:

 

8. A white-flowered plant of the violet family, Viola labradorica, with medicinal properties. 

and

10. The gill-like structures of efts and other amphibian larvae

Judy, I did receive it so I must have lost it transferring it from excel to gmail. I hope this problem doesn't become a major complication. I will award you 2 points for my error.

What a great bunch of defs.

 

I’ll go with the lecherous young man and the grumpy old one:  7 and 12.

 

[Johnb - co.uk]

defs defining one unknown word with another word I didn't know cause me to vote for #9 -- all the others are marvellous and realising that there must be an esoteric word for the phenomenon I'll add #12

[Paul Keating]

2 for the whimsy and 12 for the diction

P

[Tim B]

5 and 9, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[France International/Mike Shefler]

11 and 12 for me.--Mike

[Tim Lodge]

The more I stared at these defs, the less I believed any of them!  I'll take a stab at 2 and 12.

          2. A bald man

        12. A child past the age of 14 years, and beginning to be stirred with lechery

--  Tim L

[amal...@comcast.net]

I share Tim L’s feelings – I don’t believe any of them, including the real one. Oh well. I’ll vote for 1 and 6.

Guessing that it's not originally English, I'll randomly pick 6 and 13 from the remaining options.

6. One who chants (in several related Algonquin languages)

[Ryan McGill]

This looks enough like a 400+ year-old English transliteration of an Indigenous American tongue. So 4 & 6 seem possible.

[Shani Naylor]

I'll vote 2 & 12 for no sensible reason.
