Are you sure of the letters for Q3?

[Trevilino]

Fairly sure that No 3 is correct.

The L comes from Gustav HoLst ("Ghost vaults" anag composer), the I from RadiotherapIst ("Hear podiatrist" anag hospital worker) and the A from DeltAic (Aid Celt around river mouth)

[scorpiojo]

Can anyone help with Q3?

[Captain2]

In a word, jo.....no

Must surely be something like Leila or Leica but can't parse either nor find a goddess by those names :-((

[slaney]

Maybe Laika - anagram of Kali (goddess) + a

[Captain2]

Best answer yet slaney. Only thing is, the only reference I can find for Laika is the first dog in space! ;-)))

[Captain2]

No sorry just found the name!

Leica fits the bill being ALICE confused but cant find any reference to Leica other than the cameras.

[Trevilino]

Laika also sounds good. Think I'll go with that one Slaney
