Correct, but you didn't need 'one': just chop one and a half letters from Vacant to get Vacar.

And you
are correct. I'm just glad it lasted more than half the letters; didn't my last one fall in two?
Five to go!
ODOVACAR - A Proudfoot, vacant but cut short by one and a bit, is wealthy.
2.
U - I hear you run before a herb, copper.
3.
R - A beast beyond the circle? I'm uncertain it's inscribed.
4.
N - Lend one ear to the shortest war, briefly and back, with a signet.
5.
A - Love lace and flatfish? Like a ring!
MIRIEL - A peaceful station in a flipped garland is a jewel.
7.
E - Race a saint indefinitely for a green jewel.
STEELSHEEN - A venerated elver - her, English? Heavy metal.
GLINDUR - Gee, Eastwood's topped and tailed (duh, you hear me?), but he's dark and tough.
LORD OF THE RINGS - A title worn.
ELESSAR - He' not greater, but gifted.
ARGELEB - Listen: a pirate girl be backwards around silver.
MAGLOR - Between Béma and Glorfindel is gold.
