Having narrowed it down to six (probably none of which is correct), I will vote for:

<< 10. A path along a canal or river used by animals towing boats.

<< 11. A style of knee-length leather cape with concealed interior
<< pockets.

About as wide a variety as I've seen--all interesting. I think, for no
reason at all, I'll go with #6 and #12.
