6  An imp which inhabits the chimneys of nurseries, and is sometimes called down to take away naughty children.

7  [Hawaiian] Loyalty to one's family or clan.

8  A narrow, decorative fastening strip used to bind the top of a storage pouch, often chosen for its distinctive patterning rather than its strength.

9  Respected, valued [Maori]

10  A type of helmet made of a dried, inflated puffer fish (or porcupine fish) with a lining woven from coconut fiber and human hair.

11  A dish common in South Asian cuisine, consisting of rice, chunks of chicken with bones, and a coconut sauce spiced with turmeric, coriander, cumin and chili powder.

Hi Debbie,

Completely clueless, I will reward the creativity of the authors of these two definitions:

4  [Maori] a formal incantation used to invoke spiritual guidance and protection.

7  [Hawaiian] Loyalty to one's family or clan.

Cheers,
Hugo
