Is it me or are these 10 definitions incredibly redundant?
#1 pretty much covers them all. And what's this all about: "in men, integrity;
uprightness; trustworthness; in women, purity; chastity."

One would think that the (integrity of the guy/purity of thw woman) who wrote this definition would have prevented him from making this social err. Who would make it such that a woman needs to reject a mans' uprightness to remain honorable... Sheessh.

I learned just this past weekend that our wonderful neighbors to the north in Canada spell the word "honour". I learned that from "The Red Gren Show". And yes I have several rolls of duct tape. Keep your stick on the ice.
