Fun one.
I'm grateful too that it got me to look up usage discussions about a word that had made me uneasy.

So then I had to go looking in my grid for a word that could make you uneasy...
An alternate for donkey?
Bugs bunny's nemesis?
Something in Yiddish?
I’m intrigued

I've PMed Meg to explain. Others can PM me or wait & I'll post it after the deadline. Upshot is that there's nothing at all problematic here.

Solved. Had the second part hours ago. Had to figure out the path to get there.

This was so much fun! Took a minute to get the last piece, but I loved it. Every single puzzle ACVX publishes is a gem.

Found this puzzle after the submission deadline, but wanted a meta to do over morning coffee -- and ended up having to come back to it, juggling it with a deadline work task and WSJCC and other interruptions, several times over the course of a couple days.
Fun solve, though I needed a nudge on part 2. Now I'm saying "D'oh!" because I really think I should have been able to get it, on my own, much quicker than I did.
