It's Friday the 13th! Each of the words in 1-13 have had a word removed from them. The definitions of the removed words are in a-m. Find the removed words and then place them in the blank spaces to recreate the original 13-letter words. The words will fill in the ‘-‘ without changing the order of the letters. Example : Fa-h-o-mo-g-- with a. transgressor = sinner, answer = Fashionmonger. -1. --n-ell-ti-n- -2. f-o-har--n--s -3. se--cla--ic-- -4. un-o-rd--at-- -5. a-c--di-at-o- -6. --nt-ove-si-- -7. --lec--b--ity -8. -up--i-p-si-g -9. --ng-essi---l -10. ir--co--r-b-e -11. -op-r--ersh-- -12. --ca-it-la--s -13. c--dit-bi-i-- -a. duty -b. uncover -c. clod -d. land, property -e. prayer book -f. homily -g. character ascribed to one -h. invented a phrase -i. chocolate trees? -j. it surrounds the sun -k. mint for felines -l. fence in -m. songs from yesteryear ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/QCHCrpGm/barsham02.gif)
If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba", which ironically means absolutely nothing.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Good solve, curly and Lex. michele, you're also right but it's 6L.  This leaves only 7a to be solved
