Here are 13 definitions for the word QUELEA shared exactly as I received them, but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group with what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary before the deadline, which is MONDAY, APRIL 6, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern Time, or the corresponding time where you live! https://www.timeanddate.com Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition.

Good luck!

Hi Judy,

Not believing any of these, I think I disbelief these two Africal definitions the least:

6. A popular dance, or its accompanying jazz-like music, of mid- and southern Africa.

 

9. an East African weaverbird.

Cheers,
Hugo

I'll go for the South American bird and the unlikey Cherokee old woman: 7 and 10.

             7. A species of bird (Steatornis caripensis) similar to a nightjar, found in northern areas of South America including the island of Trinidad.

           10. Derived from the Cherokee word "kwalli," which translates to "old woman."

We all make mistakes, and that is one of the most harmless. I just put the correction in as a hint for anyone in the future who might be looking in the forum for either round.

9 and 10 seem popular, but #10 isn't a definition so is unlikely to be correct. So, my vote's for the birds: 7 and 9.
