I'll take the refraction synonym and the astrological reversal: 5 and 8.

5: [obs. rare] = refraction (qv) "the light pathway caused by a refrangent
or refractive material" [Hooke, Micrographia 1665]

8: Astrol. The prevention of a conjunction of two planets by the
retrogression of one of them

[Steve Graham]

Let's go for 15 and 17

Steve Graham
The first task of an editor is to save the writer from him- or herself, no
matter how painful the process.

15: a process used to restore felt hats
(Since Oregon is the "Beaver State," I "felt" it was appropriate. )

17: the bending of light rays as they pass through a prism, lens, or other
optical device

I'll take my chances with numbers 8 and 9.


8: Astrol. The prevention of a conjunction of two planets by the
retrogression of one of them

9: the process of sorting files, books, and the like by subject

[Jim Hart]

Rightly or wrongly I'm dispensing with any of the refraction variations
including polarisation. Instead I'll opt for ice and felt - 2 and 15

Having eliminated those I know there's some other word for, as well as
those that are unthinkable, I'm left with:

Millie -

I'll go with the crowd -

2: The fusion of two blocks of ice by pressure

and

5: [obs. rare] = refraction (qv) "the light pathway caused by a
refrangent or refractive material" [Hooke, Micrographia 1665]

Thanks,

Chuck

Since staring at them for another hour or so isn't likely to help, I'll try 13 and 14.
