An "anagnost" is specifically a cleric who reads things aloud in the Orthodox Church (like a lector or prelector in the Roman Catholic Church).  The etymology is revealing: the anagnostes is the person who does anagignoskein, or "making things known" by reading them aloud.

Ok, I'll concede that one. I looked it up
 
As for Roble; hint:   It's a noun, and native to California.

Next one..."先派"

Edited to add...My God, CM accepts Chinese now!  Yay!

Well darn it, I guess that means I had better learn Chinese  I know a smattering of Latin, but my ability to translate is pretty pitiful.

I am not sure of the exact definition but I know it has something to do with carriages. Give me some time, I'll figure it out.
