3607 🗳️ COURIL

[Paul Keating]

The players have laid before you a lavish and varied buffet of verbal confections. However enticing you may find them, you may choose only two, which you should do by Sunday 21 December at 21h15 CET (countdown timer here: ⏱️), or 48 hours from time of posting. Early closing will apply as usual.

1	A roadway lane marking.
2	An introduction or preface to an epic poem or tale.
3	A medieval heraldic symbol depicting an eagle without beak or talons.
4	A geometric motif found in mosaics, symbolizing balance between earth and sky.
5	A grey and brown striped mouse found in Mediterranean coastlands of northern Africa.
6	In Brittany, one of the tiny fairies reputed to frequent druidical remains and to delight in beguiling young girls.
7	A small brass bell traditionally mounted above the entrance of English alehouses, rung to announce the tapping of a fresh cask or the arrival of a new batch of ale.
8	The covering of balls used in real tennis (also known as royal or court tennis), which is made of a heavy, woven, woollen material and has to be replaced frequently on the cork cores.
9	Brand name for a drug that causes an increase in the production of urine, used to treat conditions in which liquid collects in body tissues between the cells.
10	Brassy. Used almost exclusively as a French horn technique to indicate a forced, rough tone.
11	Geol. A ridge with a steep drop on one side and a gentle slope on the other.
12	A dance step formerly much used; a sort of bow or salutation in dancing.
13	A narrow, pointed blade of grass; hence, a similarly-shaped dagger.
14	A citizen by birthright.

Hey Paul,

I actually believe almost all of them this time!

My votes will reward the authors of 6 and 10: beguiling young girls with a brassy sound.

Cheers,
Hugo

I'm  trying a new technique in this round: only reading the list once to avoid getting confused. My first run picks are 5 and 11.

          5. A grey and brown striped mouse found in Mediterranean coastlands of northern Africa.

        11.  Geol. A ridge with a steep drop on one side and a gentle slope on the other.
