effort.

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

Don't worry, we can work it out. It's 8am but I'll vote by Sunday night
anyway. Oh all right I'll vote now...

There's the usual possibility that it must be one of the African antelopes
because they weren't combined but I'm not falling for that old ruse.
Instead I'll send a nod to 17 for implausible creativity while I waste my
real votes on the botanicals, 13 and 14.

Hmm - this one's difficult. I'll go for a couple of the least likely, 11
and 16:

11. [Obs] of capacity; able and ready to take or receive; capable

16. the senior ecclesiastical magistrate in some orthodox churches,
responsible for correct observance of the liturgy

It could be any of these, but I think I've winnowed the possibilities to
five. Of those, I'll try
