Tim – I’m going to go with 3 and 4, with a question. How do the tadpoles hang on as they’re being carried?

Best,

Alan

Tim -

Can you confirm that the word is INTERBASTATION, as in the body of this message and in the earlier call for definitions, and not INTERBASTION as in the subject line?

Thanks,

Efrem

[Daniel B Widdis]

I think 6 is most likely, and 8 is the least likely.

[Daniel B Widdis]

I’m not Tim, but having voted I looked it up and can confirm that the word is INTERBASTATION.

 

I don’t think the spelling in the subject line is a word (in English, at least).

[Shani Naylor]

I'll take the popular #6 along with #12.

[Tim Lodge]

Sorry, Efrem, the word is definitely INTERBASTATION.

[Efrem Mallach]

The votes so far seem mostly concentrated on about four definitions. Who am I to disagree with the collective wisdom? Of those, I’ll randomly pick 4 and 12.
