Just been looking at No1 on your other post

IN-KI-NESS

fits, with IN = fashionable and NESS = point; can't find the KI though


Inkiness

noun - the quality or state of the achromatic color of least lightness (bearing the least resemblance to white)

[Lie-in King]

Inkiness - 'in' (fashionable) + anag 'skein' (tangled yarn) + 's(outh)' (point of bearing) (?)

See I've been gazumped by two clever peeps on the other thread; I like Elliemay's parsing

[Lie-in King]

So sorry, I hadn't seen the first thread.

Very confusing LiK - especially as Matakari posted this thread well after Elliemay and Donny had responded on the earlier one.
