a. (n) a musical form, originating in Anglo-Saxon bards' epics, but set to music of a style considered modern for the time. That hastilude of the story of Beowulf reminded me of the songs from "Singin' In The Rain."
b. A begging bowl with an official stamp on it, giving the beggar the legal right to beg.
c. A brief playlet, skit or sketch interposed between other acts in a stage show.
d. A joust or tournament. More specifically, a jousting event where two groups of knights on horseback fought each other.
e. A popular Roman drinking game
f. A short melodic motif producing an element of tension and resolution in music.
g. a short-lived delusion
h. A sudden change
i. A theatre expression indicating a brief pause between acts. Characteristically shorter than an intermission and longer than an Entr'acte.
j. Boredom displayed in public situations.
k. Carl Jung's term of Jainian Karma; women are serious about existence and men are playful, men lack "hastilude" - the missing element.
l. Coined during the Nepoleonic wars, it is the amount of time it takes to load a muzzle loading rifle during a battle.
m. Entertainment provided by medieval French troubadors during royal ceremonial events.
n. swordplay
o. The gait of a ferret or other long-bodied mustelid
p. The period between the delta sleep stage and REM sleep, during which the second and third stages of sleep occur in reverse order.
q. The protuberance on the proximal end of the femur to which the quadriceps is attached.

______________________ - Lazy LesterBravo, Bingley! Not a slacker in the list. Selecting from this excellent bunch of definitions might take some doings. Hmm? I'll get back with you Bingley in a New York sennight (or is it fennight, I forget) and that ain't but thirty forenights. Amazing! Not a slacker in the bunch.

O hell. There has to be a word for the distinctive gait of a ferret. Might as well be this word.

D or N?
The Principle of Armil says they're born of the same attractor/red herring, therefore reject both.
The Principle of Simplicity says it's N.
So of course I'll take D. That's the Principle of Contrariness.

You want Armil, I'll give you Armil. C and I, there's Armil.
But I like C.
