Thank you all. Clearly I have wrong entries for two crossing clues. I think I'll think it out again.

Captain2

Ahh, so a variant on my 'mease'. Fair enough, your answer means vesalius only has to look at one wrong letter.

Do you do the crossword, writesb? I don't. :))

Captain2

Maise makes more sense - anagram of 'sea Im'

writesbad

No, Capt. I usually turn to The Times

Thank you all again, especially writesbad. It must be MAISE. I was misspelling one of the crossers.
