Codeword

Can anyone help with a codeword puzzle please?

C-MM--
23/5/24/24/18/7

Interlinking with the first M is a five letter word
M----
24/5/7/18/4

I know it's a long shot but it's driving me nuts.

commit?

[factor-fiction]

MOT??
Motel

[scorpiojo]

Motif

[factor-fiction]

Sorry MOTI?
Motif would fit

[factor-fiction]

I'm too slow for Scorpiojo. (Does that rhyme?)

[joncavo]

I've tried commit and motif already - thank you for your speedy responses but interlinking with the fifth letter of the first word is a 7 letter word:

18/10/4/8/10/7/1

Thank you for any help. I realise I'm asking a great deal.

So if MOTIF and Commit were assumed to be right what would that give for the other one- it's a bit fiddly toggling up and down

Infants?

[factor-fiction]

What letters do you get scorpiojo- I need pen and paper

[joncavo]

INFANTS

[scorpiojo]

[joncavo]

Yes... so far.. thank you for all your help.
