32 Rusma, definition in Chambers - and Rus Ma, Russian mother

Thank you NACW

[ProfessorMaisie]

Think you have to drop the 'n' in Russia[n] too (the RUS abbrev only works without the 'n').

Thanks ProfM ... just noticed that "that N" is needed in aNy in the question...

Love the endgame ... it's brilliant

Professorplum, glad I could help. My copy isn't marked with the letters I was rounding up, I worked out the question from the few I had - so didn't bother matching the rest!
