Round 3614 SINGULT results

[Paul Keating]

Thank you to everyone who helped to score this round while Glenn has more pressing concerns. All but one of the definition authors have owned up, and I am guessing that the author of #6 is Nancy. If that guess is correct, then the full score table is:

Paul, thank you very much! And thank you all for the well wishes; I had a pretty nasty gastric event that knocked me out for the past two days but am feeling much better this morning. 

A singult is a sigh, as detailed in Johnson's Dictionary Online. It comes from the works of Edmund Spencer. I considered changing it after belatedly discovering upon a similarity check revealed it was similar to singultous, which means "afflicted by hiccups," selected by Tim Lodge in round 1736, but since Paul Keating was the only DQ I elected to keep it in place.

Glad you're feeling better! There's been a lot of nasty stuff going around lately. Sorry that you became a victim.
