Typo c should be rc

[hatton02]

Nice one folks. Love the explanations so I'm convinced you're right. Why AVAUNT..I get the AUNT bit, but the AV meaning rift, at first glance?

[hatton02]

CRANNY? Like a GRANNY? Don't know what a rift is

[hatton02]

I now have C#A#N# so it could be CHAUNT too? But i need explanations.
