26: defn. "a pet", parses as 1, 2, 4 (herb rather than season IMO), 3.

I think it's 1, 3, 3, 3 as the first "3" is the approved abbreviation for Australia as per Chambers. "Season" works for the second 3-letter bit (in the sense of mature or ripen).

I thought it might not be a word, but what the heck..."mis" prefixed to a verb usually works.

I got it as soon as I posted. We don't call those pets by that name in Canada so it took me a minute.
