Rnd 2994 VICARIANCE Results
Johnb - co.uk
I was going to play the word VICARIAD which is on obsolete
version of VICARIANCE but I decided that I might get away with a
definition that was effectively defining itself by itself "the
existence of vicariant forms" - I will admit that despite my
training I did not know this word - the idea that different forms
may arise on either side of a geographical barrier is well known
to me but that it was defined by this word was not. Other of you
seem to be more knowledgable for it earned me a D3
Judy Madnick scored 5 and is our next dealer The real winner is
Tim Bourne with 4 points
Take it away Judy (once you have worked out how we now work<grin>)

RE: “others of you seem to be more knowledgeable”
Nah, in this case it was the “longest sounded more believable”. I think I guessed right in a previous round with the shortest!
