I think the few definitions of this word limited this competition just a bit.

My 1st (five points) is, last but not least in your list, the 43rd of the 43. I'm not a fan of long composite anagrams but this is an excellent short one esp as the extra letters (WHO'S) are not extraneous and tie in very well with the word. 2nd (4 points) No 38 - a top quality &lit which read very smoothly. 3rd (3pts) No 9 just edging out No 10 (2 pts) which used the same idea. Finally 5th (1pt) No 36.
