3. is usually cutie pie?

[mohill]

Many thanks don1.

I had thought of cutie pie and it would be OK if the word KAZACHOK could be written KAZACHOC. I have used KAZACHOK in answer to: high kicks are performed from a squatting position in this russian dance. This gives me a k and not a c to start the word.

Your answer dogteeth gives me - - n - t - r e for an 8 letter word meaning 'important point of time'. I don't get the meaning of 'point of time' as distinct from the more usual 'point in time'.

Maybe you can help further?

Cheers.

Important point of time = juncture.
