In the ballot, I specifically asked that votes not be sent to me only
and not to the lists. This can widely influence other cavers and skew
results. Because the Rules at the bottom of the ballot were not followed
by a voter, I'm sorry that that vote will not be counted.

We now have 37 entries. I've attached the list here. If the JPEG

Donald,
You're right - maybe it's a silly venture - maybe cavers will refuse to
adopt the noun after the contest - but it's a fun thing to do anyway,
and it exhibits a little creativity that we can share among ourselves,
and maybe a few laughs in these days when real caving is limited. So

Thanks, Mimi.
I want to remind people that it's OK to create completely new words as
well, ans if you can't think of something, try using a thesaurus. Even
consider proper names. I'll limit the entries to no more than four per
person as Jim Evatt has submitted four, but just don't throw out
Hey Lee,
Just having some fun 😊 I think it a great idea, and look forward to voting!
Seems to have caught on among the caver family. Congratulations on sparking
such creativity, and look forward to seeing the final list of entries.

Thanks, Mimi!
Very cute essay.
But there will be only one winner and no 2nd or 3rd place winners. I
will announce the number of votes each name got, and if there is no
majority, I will hold a runoff vote (there is no reason to rush it through).
So the term will refer to all cavers, not di
This thread has actually been quite fun, and I wonder if there could be more
than one winner? Maybe top three for different types of cavers?
Imagine a report from a national convention one day during this special
year..
Well, we have quite the large gathering today. There is a group of brea
Joe Ivy used to call a crowd of cavers queued up at a constriction an “idiot
sump,” So how about a Sump of Cavers?

Another option...a clamber of cavers. climb, move about, or get in or out of something in an awkward and laborious way, typically using both hands and feet.Bob WestOn Apr 24, 2021 12:01 AM, Val Hildreth-Werker wrote:We’ve all used it, lots of cluster references regarding caves, speleothems, and

Yes, we will vote. Any caver whether on one of these lists or not can
make suggestions until Wednesday, so you can pass this on to caver in
other states. I will post a ballot of suggested plural nouns for cavers
on this Thursday. Cavers can send their secret votes to me before the

Thanks, John.
We now have a dozen creative entries (maybe more from Texas as I just
