All, at 24 hours before the original deadline, I had received 4 submissions, one DQ and one dead ringer for the real definition. I have little option but to start over. I truly had no idea that it was so commonly known that an alerion is an old word for a mythical bird believed to have no feet.

The replacement word for the new round is: 

COURIL

and the new extended deadline is Friday 19 December at 21h15 CET (countdown timer here: ⏱️). That is just under 48 hours from time of posting. Consider using this email link: defin...@boargules.com. Most mail clients will provide a suitable compose-message screen in response to clicking it. The Google Group webpage will not.

My apologies to players who feel constrained to submit fresh fake definitions. If I do not receive a replacement, I will use the one already received.

It's a heraldic term for a baby eagle or eaglet, which are shown as eagles without claws or beaks, so that's probably where people have heard of it before.
