Build a word sandwich—I've provided the 'meat,' now you provide the bread.

Each of the following 'sandwich contents' can be turned into an English word by adding the same letters before and after (the bread!). For each one, list the English word(s) that can be constructed.

For example, given 1. IOXID and being asked for 3 letters before and after, you would answer 1. ANTIOXIDANT. When answering, include the number of the item.

General notes about this AND future similar puzzles:
Some of these words are slang or very obscure! But they are all in dictionaries except where noted in parentheses with a hint. Hints may also be given for a nonstandard word. Note: some words only appear in specialized locations such as medical dictionaries. Some words I did not specifically find in a dictionary, but a web search proved the word *should* be able to be found in some dictionary, somewhere. :)

Have fun making sandwiches!

Hey! I didn't provide numbers. Silly.

Of course, using my super-duper mental powers, I figured out how to log in as the forum moderator so I could edit my post!

Here's #19:
Code:
[white]
sesamoiditises - pretty obscure, I think!
[/white]
For me, that leaves the Sanskrit #11, which I don't have a clue about.

lbass,

Obscure, but you got it! :) I gave fair warning by saying it's not in any dictionaries so far as I could find. Hehe.
