There just aren’t enough people around to make the games fly. If just a couple of us get caught up in real world things then there will be too few entries to continue. Fwiw I’ll send a couple in the next few minutes.
"No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson.
1. The male organs on hermaphrodites such as snails
2 Small quill pens
3 infant penguins
4 the class of animals with feathers

6 infants born with a penis
7 A system of exercises to develop meditation, flexibility, and self-defense skills
8 General word for swans or swan-like birds.
9 An order of medieval monks in Northern Europe.
10 A group of Roman senators who were expelled from the senate and exiled for attempting to organize opposition to The idea that Caesar was a living God.
11 Spoked, ultra-large, urethane wheels for scooters
Well sorry I missed that, Geoff. Good choice, & I would never have picked the real one. I was thinking, maybe the "thing with feathers" (apologies to whats-er-name).

Actually, I didn't. But I grouped the entries by attractors and and discarded most for their recurrence: No newborns (neonates), nothing sluggesting penises (overlap with newborns), no birds (overlap with penguins), nothing with feathers (pinna), nothing with Latin (overlap with latin (pilates, senates) monks and nuns)). That didn't leave much, and urethane scooter-wheels was just too bizarre...
Gamesmanship is usually nice-but-no-cigar, but this time it was on target.
Good critical thinking, Hab! I imagine you did well on exams.
Sorry, Geoff, that I missed this one! I think I would have chosen #7, mostly because I thought it had nothing to do with penises or being repentant, etc. Ah well.
