Only an equaller, but I suppose FEINTER might be allowed as 'more feint', even though it's not listed as a derivative of the verb.

Couple for today.
MURIATES in R2: Notable anagram of AMERITUS which I thought was a word, but isn't apparently.
REBURIES in R9
FEMALE and FOALED as equallers for R11

You were probably thinking of EMERITUS.
Regarding FEINTER, if FEINT is there as an alternative spelling of the adjective FAINT, then it's fine. Otherwise not.

Pretty much, I'd seen the misspell somewhere and presumed it was a separate word. Pleased with the spot though regardless of the daft route.

If words were human beings, VENERATES and ENERVATES would be getting a bit of a complex by now; they came up (minus the S) in my quarter-final against Tim Reypert too and no-one in the studio saw them then either.(Including me but I got them today).

Round 9 only had one E so REBURIES is a no-can-do I'm afraid.
