Got everything except for Wetland, though it took me a minute to figure out wattle due to the the incorrect spelling conventions we were saddled with by the British.
Noah Webster popularized many of the spellings commonly used in American English such as color, traveler, and center. But some of his spellings didn't catch on. These include masheen, tung, dawter, iland, thum, wimmen, and beleev.
I once ran a trivia night that included a "name that tune" bonus round in which I played 15 seconds of a song and the teams had to write down the name on their sheets. Only two teams correctly identified "Ride of the Valkyries," but a third wrote "Kill the Waaaabbit. Kill the Waaaaabbit," so naturally I awarded points to all three of them.
I have two pet rabbits, and I have never heard of a warren. Burrow, den, you name it, but never warren. Then again, perhaps it's because the answer to "rabbits' home" for my two bunnies is "my house."
I learned the meaning of warren from the book, Watership Down.The mama cottontail and swamp rabbits here in Missouri make individual nests above ground or rarely, borrow an old groundhog den. Maybe warren is a European thing?
I doubt that "waste" would be used in Europe either, as it is an American word. And I'm sure that the genteel languages of Europe would have a more sophisticated word for murder.
Waste was my first attempt too. Definitely a term for killing people. No idea if the mafia used it or not. I did think of whack afterwards. But that is just because i ve been hit to death ( no pun intended) with that word. "ow whack, yea that is shit is whack, whack man" etc. It was quite an ambivalent word.. like crazy it could mean something bad or good..
Haha love this comment I can allready envision the feathery revolution ! Chaos feathers flying all around, a lot of quacking and hissing hahah... and then one lonely lost "HONK!"
Bah I typed both wood and erased (cause could not remember what came after it) then started wind and erased... I though there were two terms and one start with wood and other with wind. And ending in instruments or section.
Also waddle instead of wattle.. and wasteland instead of wetland. (well the land is wasted..)
Well still not too bad 4 wrong for someone whose language isn't english.
A wainwright builds wagons. A shipwright builds ships. A wright is someone who constructs or repairs something; the word is generally used in compounds, as above.

No? Well at least give me "wabbit hole" for a rabbit's home.

How about "To dry a piece of material by twisting it" ? Or, "Archaic name for a maker or builder, e.g. of ships" ?
