This looks like a dialect word to me, and I know that Mike has a taste for the Wright stuff. If that is a good guess, that narrows the field a bit. There is a common idea that “Zomerset” dialect has lots of Zs, but maybe that’s just a novelists’ stereotype. I vote for 1 & 8.

They're all equally believable or unbelievable, depending on your point of view. I'll try 5 and 6.

                   5.  a type of tambourine or hand drum used in klezmer music.

                   6.  A very colorful sea slug, with a purple body, orange cerata, and red rhinophores.

~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

​ The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and only Son, Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
