[modeller]

Thanks Harry ! Are you saying that if there are equal answers the alphabetical one should be the one chosen ?.

[Harry-Wragg]

Hi modeller,

My dictionary (Chambers) - nepheline - a rock-forming mineral, silicate of sodium, potassium and aluminium, colourless, usually crystallizing in hexagonal prisms.....Also nephelite. I Think with all the definition I would have to go with nephline.

Good luck with the crossword - HW

[Harry-Wragg]

I did of course mean NEPHELINE
