Here, brought to you at enormous expense from beautiful locked-down downtown* Bray, are 12 hand-crafted defs of the word HENEDICAL, only one of which came from my dictionary.  Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this message before the deadline of:

               21:00 BST on Thursday 2nd April, which is
               20:00 GMT/UTC
               22:00 CEST
                 4:00 PM EDT
                 1.00 PM PDT
                09:00 NZDT on Friday in New Zealand

* I'm not sure that the centre of Bray, comprising two three-star restaurants, two pubs, a ladies' hairdressers, and a gift shop, all within 200 yards, really counts as a downtown!

 1.  pear-shaped.

 2.  authoritarian; imperious.

Tim,

The word as originally posted was HENIDICAL. The subject line and first para. of this have HENEDICAL. The fourth letters are different. At least some of the definitions seem to hinge on having "I" there. Which is it?

3 and 11 seem to go together. Now I'm going to look up copulative
conjunction.

6 looks vaguely true and I’ll join the copulative conjunction crowd on 11.

Yes.  I've never eaten at Heston Blumenthal's"Fat Duck", but we have occasionally been to the late Michel Roux's "Waterside" on special occasions.  Both are within easy walking distance, in fact I passed them both today on my daily permitted exercise.  One of the pubs has a single Michelin star as well.  Not for nothing is Bray known as the gastronomic capital of Berkshire.  In normal times we get Japanese tourists making pilgrimages!

I think I drove past a 7-11 store today. Or maybe it was a different day. Or I was walking. Or a different store, or maybe not a store at all. No matter; them's my votes.
