The site was down last night, but even so I've not gotten any new def.'s, so here goes!
a.) A very rare orchid of the phalareopsis family, having three
petaled flowers with the middle petal enlarged into a lip, and
differing from the others in shape and color. Found chiefly
in the mountain heights of the Philippines.
b.) a small but ornately decorated metal disc, to be attached to the glove (gauntlet) protecting the sword-wielding hand
c.) a string instrument where strings are pulled by a built in wheel that is turned by means of a handle. First images date from the 13th century.
d.) A cross between a moonflower and a dandylion, giving a yellow flower that blooms in the night
e.) Seasoned gay male on the hunt for tender game. A male cougar.
f.) A large bronze disc with inscribed Linear A characters.
g.) a loose outer garment worn e.g. by soldiers over their armour (also mandilion) (hist); (with cap) the name of a cloth supposed to bear the imprint of the face of Jesus
Let's say...votes in by evening of the 25th., EST, USA.

A fine, gallant collection. Flowers and heraldry, music and hunters. As a seasoned voter I bide my time a while.

My, my.
A and D are flowers, a la dandelion. ("lion's tooth")
B and F are decorations, a la medallion. ("little medal." Double-L). And by extension, G
C is an instrument, a la mandolin. (plucked by hand)
Warily I have to choose E .

....G.... any article of clothing, that was around that long ago, to be used to wipe the face of Jesus, is bound to have an unusual name!

Bugger...just had another brilliant idea for Mandylion (Mandilion) Daffy...
Just reading about todays google historian Gregor Mendel.
Mendelian would have been a good substitute/twist meaning.
