Scrabble, turn 4



I recieved 6 submissions for this turn, so it does seem that interest
is growing.

The first submission is:
range: 11A-15A

maSaH

maSaH...  we care
Score: 18

Sentence:  maSaH.  We care.

Submission two:
>From H7 across to M7: H a b t a H.  The leading H and the b would be double
letter scores. The word is {HabtaH}, as in {HabtaH 'oH} - It continues to be
smooth.  Additionally, the H forms the word {He} from H7 down to H8 (He}:
course, route.)
Score: HabtaH :13
       He     : 5
       TOTAL  :18

Submission 3:
A8-A13
SawmeH = in order to marry (for a male)
Score: 10*3=30
SawmeH, loD lo'laH 'e' tobnIS
in order to marry a man must prove that he is useful.

Submission 4:
G10-G14 & G10-I10
HISaw = Marry me! & Hut = Nine
Hut leS HISaw!
Marry me in nine days.

This submission requires playing tiles along two directions.  Thus 
it is not a valid submission.


Submission 5:
B7 - B11
for 14 points
Using the 1st "a" in manajlI'

HaSt(a) - (n) Visual Display

HaSta yIQotlh neH

Just disable the visual display

Submission 6:
C9-C13
SaneH - I want you all
for 22 points

Qu'vam ta'meH SaneH - I want you all to accomplish this task

Choosing randomly the third submission will be used.  This makes 
the new board look like:

    <A><B><C><D><E><F><G><H><I><J><K><L><M><N><O>
