Puzzle of the Week #403 - Triple Duality

The answer to each clue is a 3-, 6-, or 9-letter word. If you split these into 3-letter chunks, you will find 20 different ‘triples’ each appearing twice.

For example if one answer was ‘bellow’ then ‘bel’ and ‘low’ would appear somewhere else too, for instance in ‘disbelief’ and ‘lowest’, but then ‘dis’, ‘ief’ and ‘est’ would have to appear somewhere else too, etc, until all triples have appeared exactly twice.
