Nub (point) back + anag Phony

IN CAR NATE
1 Treatise - "treat is", announced
2 Capuchin - 'cap' (better) + 'u(r)chin' ('r[un]' from hedgehog)
3 Bunny hop - 'nub' (point, about; back) + anag 'phony'
4 Incarnate - 'innate' (to maintain; contain) 'car'
1 Egalitarianism - 'eg (say) alit (settled) arianism (heretical idea)'
2 No-ball (extra) - 'nob' (swell) + 'all' (quite)
Question Author
Thank you to all. I'm still not sure why INCARNATE is supposed to mean "in ultimate condition", and I forgot to include the following clue which I also can't parse (except for BASTE meaning "Tack"). Clue = Tack in prison, badly defective (5) B?S?E Why is it BASTE?
Baste and Tack mean the same is sewing.
Sorry that doesn't answer your question.
Bast (ill) e
Incarnate : to give a concrete or actual form to.
