And just what does nizgul mean?
Or does that come in some future revelation? Fun though.
----please, draw me a sheep----
although, here's a variant (spelling and def'n): link
OP
a) - n (Sc. dial.) A holiday marking the winter solstice.
b) a Dutch moat or canal
c) A curved Malaysian knife.
d) The small canoe-shaped seed of a Scandinavian shrub from which licorice-flavoured oil is pressed.
e) - more commonly called a "dreidl" or "svivon," the spinning top used during the holiday of Hanukkah/Chanukah; derives from the letters on the sides of the toy, nun, gimel, hay, and shin, which stand for "Nis Gadol Haya Sham" ("a great miracle happened there")
f) One of the Witch Queens of Angmar. The female counterparts of the Nazgul or Black Riders (see Lord of the Rings).
g) an alloy of nickel and silver principally used in gem settings
h) a person who is unable to comprehend any foreign language
i) - n (Midl. Eng. dial) the smallest and weakest bird in a brood of chickens
j) type of stitch used in Shetland needlework
k) - lacking roots
l) Distastefully bland
m) n. Medieval torture device.
n) Variant of Nazgűl, from the fictional language "Black Speech" created by author JRR Tolkien. Translated, it means "ring wraith", one of the nine dead kings bound to the evil Sauron through the use of one of the nine Rings of Power. Used generically to refer to any supremely evil being.
o) In music, nisgul is the point on a vibrating string where the wave divides itself into parts, producing harmonics.
(I should have chosen highschool bookkeeping for this in stead of reciting poetry)

nisgul for the chick and nisgal for the pig? That's pretty funny.

I appreciate it, tho' I do not know how you knew that. In each years' results is a
dictionary reference the answer?

quaintly put.. but yes, each round comprises a definition culled by the hogmaster® from some (hopefully) reliable resource plus the various daffynitions submitted by those that wish to play. you should read the hogwash® rules, which are pinned to the top of the Wordplay and fun forum. (that'd be this very forum)
in the real world this game is known variously under names such as the 'dictionary game' and Balderdash®.. link and link
