10. a small colorful fish with poisonous spines, found in shallow waters

11. any of a half-dozen species in the Asteraceae family, noted for their
edibility and their spiny seed pods

at the beginning of the book [Kipling R, "Kim"]
13. (Mus.) a certain stop in an organ, in which the pipes or tubes are

and are open at the other end

A lot of these operate on similar themes, but I'm going for a couple of
southern-hemisphere opposites, 9 & 10.


9. a type of horse specially bred for use by gauchos on the Pampas of
South America
10. a small colorful fish with poisonous spines, found in shallow waters
in the Indian Ocean

I could stare at these defs all night and still be none the wiser, so I'll
just go for the Indian, 4 and 12, please.

4. an Indian police or customs officer

12. the name of the gun outside the Lahore museum on which Kim was playing
at the beginning of the book [Kipling R, "Kim"]
