HELP! What ten-letter word, partly derived from the greek meaning 'short' means the study of concise speech? I asked this question before and was helped with an answer, but now questioning it as it is not derived from the Greek. Any other clues please?

What about "laconicism"? from lakonikos

Parciloquy or brachylogy ?

Hi sarumite~ I was concerned that my answer did not end in "ology" = discourse (logos)/study of. For this reason, I would favour your second option :o)

[sarumite]

hello crofter old mate .. I think it may be the solution that I previously suggested, so perhaps your answer is more acceptable??
I'm pleased to see that the two link games are retaining popularity, and that your herculean efforts in the scoring dept etc remain undiminished!! ;0)
