Let's see. Linda: no, you didn't miss anything. J-J: not even by Armistice
Day. Pierre: yes, it got a little lost.

My apologies for the delay. Embarrassingly, I managed to lose my original
list and had to spend a little time finding the definition of my word again
*blush*

Eleven definitions for your enjoyment. Standard 2-point and 1-point voting,
please.

nard  adj.  opaque, hard, dark.

nard  prep.  (Obs.) Among, usually with the implication of a subtle,
unnoticeable presence.

nard  n.  An extinct Arabian breed of dog of the sighthound type

nard  adj.  Crumpled or disordered.

nard  n.  dental floss made from pocket lint

nard  v.  To come to an abrupt stop, as in an elevator.

nard  n.  [Athab.] soft floor coverings, such as furs or rugs, used to
floor a tent or other temporary structure

nard  n.  (or nardshir, or narde, Persian) a board game for two players in
which the playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice. Similar
to backgammon and using the same board, it has different initial positions
and rules.

nard  v.  to be rude or hurtful without realizing

nard  adj.  darker in color due to moisture.

nard  n.  The fragrant smoke produced by the mutual annihilation of a

Votes by November 22 and I'll do my best to have the results out before
Christmas *L* that is, that weekend.

BB,
Hutch
