Keta was suggested here (but don't look if you don't want to see other answers)

I think toorak's link is the wrong one but it's still best answer.

[Daij]

It can't be Keta, there was a mistake (my fault) when I posted the first query - the 'T' is definately wrong. Correct letters are as posted 

C?A?

[Captain2]

Sorry, I'm getting confused; didn't twig Daij was asking as a follow up to his previous thread.

[newmodarmy]

Oh ... just googled and can only find the fruit. So where does fish fit in?

OK char looks okay as it lives in lochs and rivers which have bores

[Captain2]

Would this definition cover bore = har?

nterjection

[edit]

har

A sound of laughter, with a sarcastic connotation

[Toorak]

If you look at my link the reference to Amla is in the first paragraph

[Daij]

Ever so chuckle Captain2

[Daij]

Many thanks for your help

[newmodarmy]

Sorry toorak... just realised available was for the other clue. I still had fish on my mind after looking at the first clue.

[newmodarmy]

Autocorrect turned amla to available , but I've only just seen your other post. I am trying to sort out travel arrangements via online and looking in on AB at the same time.

Chad ("shad"; Chambers) - 'c(aught)' + 'had' (past tense 'have'; 'bear' - 'bore')

[Maxymax464]

I normally defer to Lie - in - King but there doesn't seem to be a fish called a chad (shad yes). However I am not keen on char either as surely har is not bore. Any further thoughts anybody?

[Lie-in King]

Maxymax - as I said, Chambers has -

chad a kind of fish (see shad)

[Maxymax464]

Fair enough Lie-in-King I will bow to your expertise!
