- What belongs to you but everyone else uses it. (your name)
When is your pocket empty yet there is something in it. (a hole)

What had teeth but never eats with them. (a comb)
My first is in toffee, and after in tart.
My second in parcel and also in part.
My third and fourth are in sure you'd agree.

[?] When you find my seventh in rose you can guess.
That my eight is in something want to possess.
(a treasure)
