Thanks toorak & dannyk13. I can't quite work out why 20a is atop. If first is TOP then why the A. Ii it ends TOP then second should be "S" - making STOP, but I can't see it. Can you help?
Second letter in balance - a - + top (first)
Tao (balance Chinese taoism) with second letter to first plus p(recedes)
Definition is on
Forget my convoluted parsing.
Interesting - we have both come at it in very different ways but both work!

Thanks a lot Toorak. I saw "second" as "S* not the second letter of "balance". Thanks for your help and explanation.

Thanks dannyk13. Glad to have created an interesting question. As you say, two minds think alike but differently - and it works out to the same in the end!
