Here are the daffynitions for the Hogwash round...there is, as always, one true definition and lots of wonderful not true definitions...have fun finding it and thank you all for waiting a whole week for this to be posted... smile

A Kibitka - an indigenous North American card game which often attracts many spectators, due to the vocal and sometimes physical nature of the play

B Kibitka - Javanese wraparound baby sling, made of a length of batik which is secured by a knot in a sash style position

C Kibitka – a type of Russian hooded sled often used as a movable habitation

D Kibitka - One of the many diminishing native languages spoken by residents in a quiet corner of the Kamchatka Peninsula, in the Russian Far East.

E Kibitka - n female ceremonial headwear on the occasion of wedding in the Belarusian tradition

F Kibitka - the first dog (if a female) born in a litter of sled dogs (Inuit)

G Kibitka - a Polish sausage made from a mixture of goat meat and pork, flavoured with garlic, sage, fennel, and basil.

H Kibitka - n a specialised Inuit knife with a curved blade

I Kibitka - an island in the North Pacific Ocean, westernmost of the Aleutian chain, 250 km (155 mi) off the Kamchatka Peninsula. Still under Russian sovereignty.

J Kibitka - colloquial term for "nice lady", comes from Polish kobitka: "nice woman", long o changing into short i in order to follow original stress pattern in which the second syllable is stressed.


Happy Hunting!
