Stuck on the last one ie 16down They are exemplified in the letters of Ms Godden A?C?N?E?S Can only thinkg of Asccenders or Accenters! Can anyone help please?

[AHearer]

Ascenders, I think -- though I can only justify it from the shapes of the lower case ds. Suspect there must be something deeper.

Thank you Ahearer. I cannot find anything in this connection under any of the female Godden authors.

I agree with Ahearer that ascenders is likeliest, though I can't parse it other than that the reference to letters might be something to do with handwriting, and Rumer Godden wrote her books in longhand. There must be something better than that.
