sorry neveracrossword -I'd only noticed Captain's post and was clarifying the typo (boss not boos)

[Captain2]

Poor typing aside, I'm sure Matakai would know where I was coming from.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks,NMA- and sorry, Captain2, I was answering from my phone and missed your earlier answer.

Matakari, hope you have fixed the errors you must have had- you seem to have had a few errant letters!

Thanks NaC. I like that 'anagrammy' word - is it in Chambers? 😁

[Captain2]

Does the second 'I' come from 'intricate' then?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Captain2. I think the second I is just from 'in'? I didn't check - and I can't at the moment.

I like making up words...
