Definitions!

1. A short, pointed spear used for fishing in shallow waters.
2. 1. Unkempt, slovenly. 2. Having a musty odor.
3. adj., rough, thickly set with bristles
4. A large iron or ivory needle used in the lacing of corsets.
5. Sharp-pointed cleaning device for early firearms.
6. an instrument used by farmers to calm and mellow their rams. Sounds kind of like a banjo but with eerie woodwind effects.
7. a screwdriver with a Philips head on one end and a flat head on the other.
8. A dead tree or tree decayed at top.
9. The main horizontal spar on a crane to which the cable, colter, and pulleys are attached.
10. Rampick (or, less archaically, rampic, or, more affectedly, 'rampique') is an adjective pertaining to profuse growth & rapid increase, which, although hardly commonplace even in its early-17th-century heyday, derives simply from 'ramp.' Campion used it in his 'Memorable Masque', thus: 'April's rampick progeny,' etc.
11. spicy and somewhat sweet

Votes to me by email! Yay for the increased player numbers!
