Sloe

[kayakamina]

1) Hyen - scavenger ...HEN(R)Y

2) Slae - Sloe (gin) .....sounds like slay (stonker)

[swarbrules]

Thanks. That's two right anyway. Now I've got to hope FISC is OK.

[kayakamina]

Fisk I think.

[swarbrules]

At least we're on the same lines. FISC is Merivingian tax revenue.

[Quizmonster]

If 'f' is 'c', then fast becomes cast...ie formulated...so fisC, given that it means public revenue.

Thanks QM1

I was so determined to make it fit with Kumquat I omitted to follow the logic and also the alternate spelling of the orange!
Regards K

[Quizmonster]

Cheers, K. I'd never seen the c-spelling either until I'd worked out that it just had to exist!

Is it just me, or was this Azed unusually easy ?
I finished it in less than 20 minutes (they usually take me about an hour) and only needed to check about 3 words.
