Re Pacific Island garment - sorry, letters are
-a-o-l

[Tilly2]

I think you might be right, boxy. Jomfil got it

[Tilly2]

Oops!

[glasman]

If the L is wrong - sarong??

[boxtops]

not with those letters, though - I'm stumped.

[emmie]

something wrong there, nothing matches
sarong would fit

[emmie]

what is the clue for the one ending in L, that might help to solve it

[slaney]

What clue does the L come from?

[macstew]

I think the L comes from " cave dweller" -p-L-eolyte

[slaney]

Troglodyte

[emmie]

slaney, good one, it would make the other sarong

[macstew]

Wonderful! Many thanks for the Troglodyte, I was completely in the wrong place having thought of speleology as being a cave. Now I can eat my breakfast without suffering from anxiety!
