1. I’m one weak short to incriminate

2. I’m one shaped like an edible container short to be brief

3. I’m one natural elevation short to be a numbing fear

4. I’m one Japanese (or Finnish) first name short to be brownish-yellow

5. I’m one grayish-white residue short to be covered with water

6. I’m one period short to be a heavily armed soldier

7. I’m one equal syllable short to be out-off-date

8. I’m one vocalist short to be a cover

9. I’m one local time at the 0 meridian short to be a one-seeded fruit with a hard shell

10. I’m one genre of rock music short to be a note

11. I’m one non edible container short to damage

What am I?

Example

I'm one playing card short to be a contest of speed - R(ace) - and you only need the letter(s) outside the brackets. In this example it's only one letter ‘R’, but it could also be two in this particular riddle!

And those letters will give the answer

Have fun!
