(hi milum!)
dodyskin also deserves credit for scoping out the True Meaning (TM); too bad her effort was decrepitated by that vote from Curly. nyuk! nyuk! nyuk!
attaboys go to Fiberbabe and troubador for garnering two(2) votes each for their respective efforts.
the Useless Play on Words (UPoW) award goes to teD (whom else?) for relating his entry to the crossthread clue.
and, last but least, honorable mention to Sparteye for being oh, so close to the TM while not having a clue.

Taking a most humble bow here with my four votes tucked into my pocket, I want to mention that coenaculous reminded me of the genus for the lovely dogwood tree: Cornus
And the genus comes from the fact that the dogwood has a corny bark. It's a distinctive feature of the tree and makes it easily identifiable in the winter. Take a look at that bark sometime, if you don't already know it. It looks like alligator skin.
My coenaculous predilections will take a turn toward the upcoming American season of meleagrine visions. tsuwm: I've finally made that word my own along with gallinaceous.
Bird regards,
WoodsWind

I hesitate least I be thought of as a troublemaker, but did anyone notice a series of irregularities in this latest game of Hogwash? For one thing why was the wining definition placed at the top of a list of nineteen definitions? Makes you wonder doesn't it...

You? A troublemaker? Everyone knows you're just a cute little ol' teddy bear, bless your heart.

I hesitate to be a stickler for detail, but there were just eighteen definitions--and did you mean 'winning' or perhaps 'whining'?!

Well of course there was a series of irregularities. This is Hogwash, after all.
You don't hear me grumbling, do you, because that tsuwm person, archfiend that he is, purposely misled me by using the word crossthread in his hideously inadequate clue! I have gone back looking and I couldn't find a crossthread that fits the context, and of course I would NEVER complain about how that so-and-so tsuwm person not only misled me but then cackled about it. NOT ME!!!

teD, my humblest and abjectest apologies for suggesting that 'supper-loving' in any fit, form or fashion relates to the dimly remembered supper/dinner discussion(s).
p.s. - now that I chew on it, there is a subthread weaving through the definitions: Last Supper, last meal, banquet seating, dyspepsia, embryologic foregut, glutton for punishment....
p.p.s. - some words for these definitions..
inclined to vomit; sqeamish: keck[l]ish
the effect of sunlight on the bottom of clouds near sunset: friscalating dusklight?
obviously anachronistic; antiquated: superannuated?

r) term applied to depictions of the Last Supper; so called because the supper took place in a coenaculum, the large room in which the latest meal was eaten <Sparteye> wolf
Hey ! I wants another half-point for identifrying the root!

oh, did I forgets to mention that the decisions of the hogmaster® are arbitrary, capricious and usually final?!

Capricious, Arbitrary, and Final Hogmaster tsuwm:
Did you notice how many of these definitions either directly and indirectly had to do with supper and suppertime? [Jung and the collective unconscious was obviously at work in the backgrounds of our brains.] If'n you were a capricious, aribitrary, final and generous Hogmaster, that we all suspect you are, you'd assign half points for all those at least inchoate coenaculous definitions. Even the "corn" in my own should be worth a fourth of a point because corn is often a coenaculous offering. Why, even Fiberbabe's phlegm could be argued to be at the supper table on occasion. And I spotted fish a couple of times, too.
Appealing to your spirit of generosity,
WW

... not to mention "glutton" and two references to the physical ramifications of overindulgence (one of which submitted by the Hogmaster his own self). Harrumph®

The only ones I see that cannot be aruged to have anything to do with coenaculous are d., f., and g., but the creators may argue otherwise. Even Ted's basketweaving should get an eighth of a point if you consider bread baskets. And the sunset definition should get a half point since supper occurs close to sunset. You want arbitrary? We'll give you arbitrary!

This is a democracy and the Hogmaster's vote counts as 51%.
And I din't have no suppertime in my Jungian conscious mind when I made up my definition.

I know you didn't have no Jung in your brain, Faldage, as evidenced by your sunrise definition.
On the other hand, Jung may have argued that you were fighting the urge to heed the end of the day by turning, instead, to the beginning. You know? Like you were in Jungian denial? [See definition "F"]

did you not read my initial p.s. above, or.. what am I, minced meat? there is a more disturbing slant to put on all these, direct or indirect, connections you were not alone in noting: it may not have been the work of the collective unconscious at all, but rather the work of the individual... heaven forfend... google. not that that's against the arbitrary and capricious (but non-existent) roolz or anything. so, I think I will not be awarding any R+ points.

Ah, poor, poor tsuwm! You think we've been reduced to, dare I say it, cheating?  I don't think so. I prefer to maintain my innocence here and think Old Uncle Juwng's theory was flapping its wings in the Ever Ever Land of our collective unconsciouness(es). 'Sides. Remember Richard Petty. He said, "If you gonna cheat, cheat neat" and he sure never mentioned googling.
