I don't remember my submission and we're in Maine without my laptop, so I
hope I don't vote for mine! (Actually, I think I can avoid that. There are
definitions that I clearly would never think of.)

4 and 9, please.

Rejecting anything having to do with hands, along with most of the equally unbelievable others, I'll go with

&nbsp;9. Penuriousness; miserliness. [Obs.]

and

16. A feathered cloak worn by Mayan warriors.

I see no clear poxvop which suggests we are all equally confused. I'll go
to South America for a feathered goat stew. (Were there Mayans in Peru?
I'll find out shortly.) That's 7 and 16.
