OK, the word is "bummack", though I don't know what it means. I'll write a
proof in the morning.

bummack 7 (aruba) ---> Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!
This is another from the OED:
bummock
'bummock,
bummack
'bummack. Sc. [Etymology unknown: presumably ONor. ]
1. A large brewing of ale for a merry meeting; the ale itself. (In
Caithness.) (Jam.)
1693 Wallace Orkney 30 The Tennant will not fail to
have..strong Ale (which they call Bummocks) in readiness.
1822 Scott Pirate III. 200 (Jam.) The mickle bicker of
Scapa..was always offered to the Bishop of Orkney brimful
of the best bummock.
2. A Christmas entertainment in Orkney given by tenants to their
landlords.
1795 Statist. Acc. Orkney XV. 393 note (Jam.) These
entertainments, called Bummacks, strengthened..the bonds

universally discontinued.
Congratulations on figuring it out, Mark. Your word.

I haven't had time to write a proof, but I did think of a 7-letter word.
