I don't believe 10 but think it's a wonderful definition, and I'd like
to know what followed the comma in 11.

too different ways of doing 'archaic' cannot both be correct so so I'll
go #8 and #9 because may be related depending on who hits who and

Hm. Mostly nouns, but two verbs and two adjectives. I think I'll go with a verb and an adjective:

&nbsp;8. To strike with the hand.

and

14. [Arch.] Proud; vain.
