Round 3024 - OAKUS - VOTE NOW!

[Judy Madnick]

Here are 14 definitions for the word OAKUS -- but only one is correct. Please send your votes by responding to the Dixonary group for what you believe are two definitions most likely to have come from a dictionary. The deadline for voting is  Friday, November 1, at 9 a.m. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

Any misspellings, weird spacing, etc., are my fault and not an indication of the accuracy of a particular definition. 

 

Good luck!

Judy -

Not a vote, quite yet, but the time zone converter link in your message isn't specific to any one time zone. Can you confirm that the 9 am you gave us is in your home zone of U.S. EDT, or tell us which time zone you meant?

Thanks,

Efrem

[Judy M.]

[Daniel B Widdis]

I’ll go for 15 and 16, the next two defs not listed since you clearly didn’t include the real one.

 

Or if that’s not allowed, I guess I’ll start at the beginning and pick the first two that amuse me to any degree, which means 1 (latin) and 3 (formerly).

6 and 14, pleaSE.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[Johnb - co.uk]

#7 and #11 please

[Stephen Dixon]

Put me down for:

#5 - could be real, since Howard Bennett is no longer with us

#14 - the wine tannens

With the right music, you either forget everything...OR, you remember everything.
