Please could someone confirm 26 down - 5 letters -Minor raised with trace of Louisiana accent there.
So far I have D - A - L.
Is it DRAWL, and if so, how come?

[tyrepill]

Minor=ward reversed(raised)=Draw+L( trace of louisiana

[Scothern 20]

A minor is a WARD and a trace of Louisiana is L. Turn round the word Ward an d you have DRAW. Add the letter L and you have DRAWL. Easy isn't it ?
