obligatory comments:
1) three(3) players sussed the wiki def’n – that’s just too many!
2) Bran and tsuwm each gathered two votes, but there was some hint of irregularity in each case!?
2) only two(2) (sort of) yeti-like def’ns; but I’ll award the Armil Memorial trophy to wofa
3) yes, tsuwm (and Luke), yett is a cognate of gate; but a jerk is a gett/git
4) is there a winner? per usual, and perforce, not in *this game
5) also, per usual, comments/complaints are welcome, but will be roundly ignored by the MGMT
