Many thanks dzug. I could kick myself re IAMBS as I was thinking of iambic pentameters

I still can't see the reasoning behind PRECINCT. Is it pre=before +cict including n as the last letter of promotion? I still can't work it out, I must be unusually thick this morning.

dzug

zone = precinct

pre = before

cinc = ultimate promotion in army (Commander in Chief)

time = t
