Zahada Than You Think

I know what you need. Some puzzles. Thanks to the marvellous Goz, here are some toughies in Zahada. I seriously like a puzzle game where it's tough to get past the page of rules.

It's a combination of different puzzle types, some straight riddles, some lateral, some cryptic, others requiring research. And it's tough. Very tough. So clearly no answers below, but excellent, subtle clues for the inevitable pleading.
