TERNA did turn out, pretty well, to be one of those words that everybody knows but me. The first two submissions contained accurate etymological surmises, along the lines of ‘I don’t know it, exactly, but it means three of something.’
So, without having to discuss it further, the round’s new word is
and it is not normally capitalized in running text.
Please let me have your proposals for a definition of this word (the only restriction being that they not betray knowledge of what it actually means), by the new deadline on Saturday 30 August at 09h00 CEST, and for which you will find a countdown timer here: ⏱️. That is a little over 42 hours from time of posting. Consider using this email link: defin...@boargules.com, in preference to pressing the Reply button. The link will pass the correct game-specific address to your mail client, and supply the word and round number in the subject line, without your having to retype either.
You should get an immediate automated acknowledgement, if you have sent the definition to the right address, and I will also acknowledge all submissions personally, though that will be less than immediate, especially so if you have used a different address.
With a full 24 hours to the deadline, I have already received definitions from
Johnny Barrs
Tim Bourne
Debbie Embler
Judy Madnick
Shani Naylor
Rey
Mike Shefler
Nancy Shepherdson
Dan Widdis
Two of those were composed with the abandoned word in mind, and I have invited their authors to resubmit.
Everyone on the list above should have received automated receipts, and personal responses. There is still plenty of time left until the deadline, which remains tomorrow Saturday 30 August at 09h00 CEST, and for which you will find a countdown timer here: ⏱️. Submit your fake definition to the email address defin...@boargules.com.
