I've narrowed my guesses down to three and will probably choose the wrong two (if ANY are correct!):
<< 6. a compound ratchet wheel
<< 8. [Welsh] a keystone, as in an arch or bridge

Oops, out of town and missed the call for definitions.
But I'll pin my hopes for points on 4 and 12, which seem odd enough
for Johnny B.

I think it's Welsh.
1 and 8 please.

I did send a definition, at 13.48 on 8/4, but I don't see it.
I'll have 10 and 12, please.
Best wishes,
Tim B.

People
I have realised the program was on the cusp of a day change and I was too tired to check what it calculated when sent the defs.
Between me and the program we added a day by mistake- midday Saturday is too long -- unless anyone objects violently the end-time
for receiving votes is midday ** Friday 11th ** here in UK with appropriate adjustments elsewhere

I'll try 2 and 14.

I've missed a few rounds through either bad timing or inattention, not
sure which, so now I must make good use of my votes. Accordingly they
are now bestowed on:
7. because I can't imagine an obsolete cushion; and
11. because it sounds like my state of mind. Or my keyboard.

I'm pretty certain they only drink bloodworm wine at Bat Mitzvahs for
Klingon girls, so I'll avoid that one and go for:
1 and 3 please.

Johnny -
Good selection. I'll go with -
1. [Welsh] a cousin
and
12. dried and compressed animal droppings, esp. of sheep, burned as fuel
because maybe it isn't Welsh, and I don't think Klingon qualifies.
Thanks,
Chuck

I don't think Johnny would use such an obvious vote-getter as the dried dung
but I'm going to vote for it anyway. Using similar reasoning, I can't
believe Esperanto would be so transparent but who knows.
4 and 12

Great defs.
I doubt the Welsh defs but like the popular keystone anyway. And I equally
doubt the Esperanto but think it's a great idea (as apparently do other
voters).
So that's 4 and 8, with a chuckle toward the authors of 11 and 13.

Going with the keystone tops: 8 and 9, please.

9 and 10, but it's pure guesswork.
