But does Pfranz's votes both count towards f's perpetrator's score?

We should remember that fitting within the bounds of an armil does not necessarily disqualify a choice, particulaly when the word is composed of such easily identifiable roots?

That asked, I'm eliminating the container answers on the grounds that they are based on a mis-division of amphora. M would be so delicious, but the while strikes a wrong chord.

F and I both have gestalt problems, so, to complete the fish trilogy, I'll go with N.

Considering his choice defines *it as "Things without consequence" mehbe they shouldn't even get one.

I'm guessing M.

Ain' nothin disqualifies the plural for adiaphora. Might could be the singular is adiaphoron.

...how many of yez are being seduced by the "-phora" reminding you of "-phoria"? A different kettle of fish entirely.

Just to cloud our warrior's sunshine, I'll join him, and cast my vote for N.

Can a new kid play?
I like the container answers because of the similarity betwixt them, and because of the Greek roots as laid out in option j.
I have to go L-egant simplicity.
