Not at all, kkr sir! On the contrary, quite nice of you to post here. Great work as always. This is driving me nuts.
6 DN could be SACK (for wine) or EACH for (pop).
But then, what the heck is 6 AC?
I did not delete any comment. I guess it got posted while I was writing. Please post again!

i have the following suggestions:
14 ac. Surreal
3 dn. Diminuendo
