2. adj., only pred. very easy [? < doddle, something easily achieved or obtained] 

3. twelve-sided dice used in some board games [Lat, duodecas]

4. In Arabian myth, strong, evil demons or jinn.

5. (Eng. sl.) Children's underwear, diapers.

6. No-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies.

7. Cold fingers.

8. A selfish person

9. [Scot.] Suspenders for trousers.

10. A feeling of uneasiness or nervousness.

11. heavy wooden clubs used as weapons by native Australians.

12. a disease of horses and cattle characterized by a stumbling gait and extreme trembling.

13. (or Tommy Dodds) low level signals on a rail system, generally used to control slow-speed movements in station and yard areas.
