Hi Mike,

It sounds like a disease to me. But I'm gonna hedge my odds, and pick just one of the disease related definitions, and one other.

4.  A class of travelling poets, musicians, and storytellers who maintain
a tradition of oral history in parts of West Africa.

6.  Measles.

Cheers,
Hugo

PS: Timezones can be confusing. But I'm pretty sure September 22 is a Monday everywhere on the world.
I assume the deadline is today, in a few hours, and not tomorrow?
