sorry, didn't see already answered

Hey manxman, we can see how many words we can find that fit.

Here's another: moonshot

Added, and one more: onshored/onshores
This is a bit of a stretch maybe. I see it used in business language as a verb meaning to bring business back to the home country. I don't see it in the dictionary...yet.

8. also unshaken ( this could be a whole new puzzle).

Township works for #8 as well.

And moonshot.

banshee and enshrine

Can't wait for Cue to return
He really shouldn't leave us alone all weekend

And enshrine and unshaven

Hey Cue.

That's absolutely great! You have come up with an entirely new puzzle! I knew there were multiple answers possible on some of these but you guys really went the distance here.

I had sunshine but all of your other answers works just as well.
