World Capital Lexicon (Posted on 2023-08-15) Difficulty: 3 of 5
• Nine clues are given that provide definitions for world capitals.
• These definitions describe what the capitals (just the city) sound like they would mean.
• For example, if the question specifies that:
   "This capital is a recently opened store for cooked meals" -  then, the answer would be:
   "New Delhi (New Deli), India".

Given these clues, work out the answers for the following:

  1. This capital is plant-covered bovine.
  2. This capital is a tool used for fighting.
  3. This capital is a royal weight.
  4. This capital is a cheer for a body of water.
  5. This capital is the legendary vehicle graveyard.
  6. This capital is something that annoys a religious figure.
  7. This capital is a basic digit.
  8. This capital is something you get from the sun.
  9. This capital is a score for a ringer.
