[Dixonary] Round 3635 voting for LOYN

[Efrem Mallach]

Here are eleven definitions of LOYN for your selection. Please vote (by public Reply to this message) for any two that float your boat during the next 47 1/2 hours, which end at:

Boston, USA Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 10:00 am EDT
Chicago, USA Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 9:00 am CDT
Los Angeles, USA Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 7:00 am PDT
Wellington, N.Z. Thu, Apr 2, 2026 at 3:00 am NZDT
Paris, France Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 4:00 pm CEST
London, U.K. Wed, Apr 1, 2026 at 3:00 pm BST

The definitions, ordered by character count (which may not correspond to visual length in your email display font) and in a couple of cases reformatted for consistency within the list:

1. A leash for a hawk.

2. [Welsh] A butterfly.

3. [OE] Distant; far away.

4. A rounded interior corner.

5. A hybrid of a lion and a lynx.

6. A ringing sound produced by striking metal.

7. A narrow passageway cut through a barrier reef.

8. A method for preparing a canvas for oil paints.

9. [Heraldry] Having the tail displayed, as a peacock.

10. A narrow strip of soil left untouched between two passes of a plow.

11. A narrow strip of ground left uncultivated between a road and an adjoining field or property boundary.

If, on seeing the list, you realize that you know this word (which is unrelated to the body part/cut of meat "loin"), please let me know at emal...@verizon.net.

Per recent practice, I may close the voting early if all those who submitted definitions have voted. So, if you didn't submit one but would like to vote, please either do so early or let me know that you intend to.

And one final note: please don't vote by replying to someone else's vote. Multiple sets of votes in the same message cause confusion, which has, in the past, led to errors in tallying the votes. These errors are eventually corrected, thanks to players' eagle eyes, but why not avoid them in the first place?

So many narrow strips! I'll choose 7 and 11.

I, too, will go for 2 of the narrow things, 10 and 11.

10, because it might be true, and 5, because it is silly and made me laugh.

[Shani Naylor]

I'll join the crowd voting 10 & 11.

[Tony Abell]

I'll try 5 and 10:

> 5. A hybrid of a lion and a lynx.

[Daniel B. Widdis]

While I'm tempted to join the others voting for the narrow strips, I'm drawn to the opposite end of the list with winged creatures.

1 and 2 please.
