MAQUI/MAQUIS BALLOT  	July 30, 2011
HI, Send in your votes (a-one and-a-two and-a) by Friday, August 5.  Note: I capitalized the defs, rather arbitrarily, to both prevent and incur confusion.  Linda
1)	Maqui, n. Fermented mango juice, used ceremonially. 
     	Maquis, n. A Tahitian religious leader.
2)	Maqui, n.  The wire screen used in making rag paper. 
Maquis, adj. Matte; dull and flat.
3)	Maqui, n.  Thick bush country in the south of France, named for the nutritious berry that grows there.

Maquis, n.  Hence, the French Resistance that hid out there in WWII.

4)	Maqui, n.  [Wayampi maki] A love potion made from the sap of the jatobá tree.

Maquis, n.  A canoe made from the truck of the courbaril, used by indigenous peoples in French Guiana.  

Note: Wayampi straddles the French Guiana/ Brazil border. The tree called “jatobá” in Portuguese is called “courbaril” in French and botany (and “guapinol” in Spanish.)

5)	Maqui, n. A pitchfork used as a griddle.
Maquis, n.  Parallel welts found on the belly and thighs of accordion players.
6)	Maqui, n.  (also called mockee or mocky).  A logo or badge on the grill, tail, etc. of an automobile, placed there by the dealer.
Maquis, n.  A coat-of-arms of one of Les Deux-Cents, the two hundred and six registered noble families of France.
7)	Maqui, n. [Rhode Island dial fr. Portuguese]  A freemartin.
Maquis, n. [Rhode Island dial, fr. Portuguese]  A cross-dresser.

Extra def from Nicolas:  The Maquis are a faction of armed Federation citizens operating in the Demilitarized Zone in the border with Cardassian Space.  This def was withdrawn because “People would know it’s me.”
