Des chiffres et des lettres (bis)

Today, let's get the answers to yesterday's word out of the way:

Lettres:
With drawing #1 (R U N E R E F E B) you can make a few words:
  • beurrée: buttered. Also slang for drunk (feminine here)
  • éburnée: this one is interesting - at first it seems like it is a feminine adjective for someone who lost a testicle (!), but after some research it seems like it has numerous meanings and origins)
  • funèbre: funeral (adjective)
  • réfréné: held back, refrained

With drawing #2 (C I L O N E T A T) you can make:
  • étoilant: that creates stars
  • tonalité: a (ring)tone

Chiffres:
Drawing #1: 6 10 3 75 9 2, total 839
Le compte est bon!
75+6=81
81x10=810
810+2=812
9x3=27
812+27=839

Drawing #2: 75 6 3 3 1 5, total 799
The best I got was:
75+5=80
6+3=9
9+1=10
80x10=800

Suggestions welcome!

For those who were wondering what the word in the picture meant:
chiant (shee - an) / chiante (shee - ant') = boring / painful / annoying (adjective)
