Since I know the definition of 'gilse" and the answer is "M"
I used my considerable Hogwash skills to select those definitions
that were offered by the Awad men.

Surprisingly I only found four male entries...N,G,J,D.

And of course "M" (the correct definition) was coined by a scottish male
but that doesn't count.

Since most players of Hogwash are male it follows that some Awad men have very gentle and sensitive mannerisms when it comes to defining words in "Hogwash".

Hurry, Elizabeth, I can't wait to see the results.
