#9 and #12, going only on the shape of the word. Though I was tempted by #3. the Peruvian grape brandy, as I am easily tempted by good brandy. Though not so tempted as not to remark that if it isn’t made from grapes, then is it brandy?

2 and 9, please.

Following Paul for one of my votes: psychoactive drugs are fun.

And adding on the brandy that Paul didn't have a third vote for.

3 and 9 please.

I haven't got a clue on this one!  I'll avoid the South and Central American ones and try the even more unlikely 8 and 12.

8. [Swahili] Bubbly, vivacious.

12. [Inuit] The Arctic fox.

Hi Eric,

Let's try my luck with:

3. A strong grape brandy of Peru.

9. A tropical American morning glory, Turbina corymbosa (family Convolvulaceae); a psychoactive drug prepared from the seeds of this plant, used traditionally for ritual purposes by the Aztecs.

Cheers,
Hugo
