I think it has to be Strine so that the 7-letter word, at 5 D, works.

Yes, I felt it was too easy to be satisfying, and I didn't like that there are alternatives for the 3- and 4-letter words (referred to on another thread).

many thanks, NAC, but can't you add either an e or an r to 5d: entries to keep up the chain?

Neveracrossword

Thanks, Quinol. I didn't keep my list of the words, possibilities,as I went along- so you're maybe right. I know I had a nice orderly series, apart from possible ambiguities at the beginning. I was in the huff with the puzzle, after all the easy clues!

Neveracrossword

Quinol, I'm happy that I chose Strine - Steine isn't in any of my three dictionaries. Strine is.

PS The accent wasn't in a thematic entry, according to the preamble it's 'elsewhere'.

'Strine' for Aussie talk is pretty mainstream now. So 'good on yer, cobber'
