Could be all...or none. <sigh> With a not-so-good track record lately, I'll vote for two that I think are wrong <G>:

With no hope of success whatsoever, let's try:



3: The entire system of nerve endings within the central back. All the
nerves that register back pain, but not including the spinal cord itself.



17: members of the outlaw bands that historically infested and controlled
many of the mountain passes of Southern Europe

I suspect the resemblance to a Spanish past participle is a red herring, so
I'll randomly choose 2 and 13:

Dick -

At the last minute I'd like to try -

11: a screen or larger construction between the choir and the nave in a
cathedral, often supporting the organ console and some of the organ pipes

and

13: a small gateway within the fortifications in a medieval castle,
intended to allow a staged retreat into the inner defences, and to be
easily blocked after use

Thanks,

Chuck
