[Dixonary] Round 3075 SIALID voting time

[Efrem G Mallach]

Folks,

Sixteen definitions of SIALID  follow. One is correct. The rest are your inventions. They have been edited slightly for format consistency and are in ascending order of character count. That might not correspond to visual length in your email display font. (A few look out of order in mine, but I trust Excel to count characters correctly.)

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 SIALID means, let me know me by private email to emal...@verizon.net. 

1. a convert to Islam.

2. [Archaic] bristling; rough.

3. an elixir granting immortality.

4. having a smooth, shiny exoskeleton.

5. of the viscosity of saliva, usually applied only to grazing animals.

6. a neuropterous insect of the family Sialidae, comprising the alderflies.

7. [Ireland] (musical) entertainment; pleasant diversion, amusement [< Ir.]

Not believing any of these, I default to the last two, 15 and 16:

[Paul Keating]

Too many genera, but nothing else seems likely so I'll take 2 of them. 6 & 10 for me.

Too many critters. I’ll buck the tide and go with 7 and 16.
