Round 3614 SINGULT time to vote!

[Glenn Thomas Davis]

Submitted for your consideration herewith are a whopping 15 preposterous definitions for SINGULT. At least one of them is a dictionary definition of that word, selected in accordance with the rigorous, time-honored, agonizingly hashed and rehashed rules of this great game. You are invited to post two guesses by Friday, January 16, 2 PM EST. Good luck!

1. (Of a substance) not causing inflammation or irritation.

2. A legislative act or royal proclamation that creates a new sovereign state.

3. A group of people who, after failing to find romantic partners, claim that they are single by choice.

4. In some Tucanoan languages of Colombia and Brazil: a grammatical noun category of number for three or fewer objects, as opposed to plural for four or more; a similar verbal number category in Miriwoong, an Australian language [contraction of singular–dual–trial].

5. Excessive bad-temper in an argument.

6. A waterfall, specifically when found in a fjord.

7. A close-fitting jacket, with or without sleeves, worn by European men from the late 1300s to around 1650.

8. A faint band above the horizon where the sky deepens in colour.

9. A sigh.

10. A tiny misalignment in woven fabric, visible as a single uneven thread.

11. Barrier islands that have been washed away and now form a shoal.

12. Any one of a number of singing styles that push the human voice beyond its usual range; also descriptive of singers who can control their voices over a wider range than normal, say four octaves, with quality and control.

13. In beer brewing, the process that separates the mash into clear liquid wort and residual grain.

14. A large, flat-floored depression in karst (limestone) landscapes, characterized by steep walls and often experiencing seasonal flooding,

15. A type of slingshot that braces against the arm.

[Hugo Kornelis]

Hi Glenn,

What a varied collection!
Completely clueless, I will give my points to the creators of:

7. A close-fitting jacket, with or without sleeves, worn by European men from the late 1300s to around 1650.

12. Any one of a number of singing styles that push the human voice beyond its usual range; also descriptive of singers who can control their voices over a wider range than normal, say four octaves, with quality and control.

Cheers,
Hugo

I must reward the author of 4, and 9 is short and sweet.

              4. In some Tucanoan languages of Colombia and Brazil: a grammatical noun category of number for three or fewer objects, as opposed to plural for four or more; a similar verbal number category in Miriwoong, an Australian language [contraction of singular–dual–trial].

             9. A sigh.

None of the above?

Okay, I'll pitch votes at 2 and 7.

[John Barrs]

Obviously you missed out the real definition (or, more likely, my Latin memory is adrift again) so, tossing cap in air I will cast my votes to the authors of #7 and #9 please
