3 and 11, please. Def. #11 is so utterly absurd that its author deserves a point.

I'll take the opposites: 1 and 3 - one of them might be right.

             1. (obs) Unlock, open.

             3. To lock up securely.

This word looks latinate but lacks a plausible Latin etymology.

It could come from a language with a CV syllable structure, such as Japanese. But we are not offered any defs in that line.

So I conclude it is either it a made-up word (#8) or a mistake for resurrect (#5).

Verb, noun or adjective? Who knows? I'll vote 4 & 12.
