locus ?

[shooty]

agree ^^
seems like you may have a word ending in ize when it should be ise

[dubsie]

Thanks. The 'z' comes from 'Franz Hals' Dutch artist. Maybe that's wrong but it does fit in I think . What about 'L---K'. (ie. frank)?

Thanks! I'd just had that same thought, so locus does fit after all!! But that still leaves one more that I can't find the answer to. P-T-C- 'coup d'état commits church'. Any ideas? Usually I can find the answers by rummaging around t'internet but not tonight!
