A short list for the weekend. Not that that makes your task any easier. Vote
for the 2 most likely candidates no later than 9 PM EST, Sunday, January 17.

1. idle; resting; indolent.

2. an eavesdropper.

3. a worshiper whose presence is hired or otherwise compensated.

4. a. at leisure; retired. b. _Cambridge Univ._ a visiting scholar with
no teaching commitments.

5. delicate; fragile.

6. able to hear; hearing; having the ability to sense and process sound.

7. the slope of a side of a mountain or mountain range.

8. a supplicant.

9. blind; unable to see (c. 1975 meaning "hearing").

10. a person appointed to carry the censer at religious ceremonies.

11. uplifting.

12. a garment of sackcloth worn at an auto-da-fé of the Spanish
Inquisition by condemned heretics, being yellow with red crosses for
the penitent and black with painted flames and devils for the
impenitent.

13. a non-irritating, sterile solution for dissolving ear wax.

14. shining out; radiant.

True. And the previously posted musings aren't really any help either!

I really love number 12 (congratulations to its author!), but I'm voting
for:

> 3. a worshiper whose presence is hired or otherwise compensated.

and

> 4. a. at leisure; retired. b. _Cambridge Univ._ a visiting scholar with no teaching commitments.
