Difficult choice! I'll try 10 and 12.

10. large earthenware vessels used for the fermentation, storage and
ageing of traditional Georgian wine.

12. an ancient irrigation system consisting of a tunnel dug at a very
slight upward gradient into rising ground so that water from deep within
the earth runs out to the surface.

Doesn't seem English, which eliminates some, and I don't think Mike would deal a proper noun ... Of those that remain, 7 and 9.

[Dixonary] Round 3025 vote for QVEVRI
 
We have a rather low vote count for now. I'll go with the oddly uncombined
3 and with 8, as it seems to be similar in form to middle-eastern languages.

3. the act of disentangling oneself from a difficult situation.
