45 ad hoc

[katburd]

thank you, although I have never heard of it

[octogenarian]

46d Croatia ?

[katburd]

croatia fits with ad hoc thanks

[dundurn]

One of those Latin phrases that has 'stuck' in the language to the point where they're not really Latin any more, like vice versa and pro rata. Can't really help with the others I'm afraid unless you give us the letters you already have.

[katburd]

90 across i have s?u?e

[elcee45]

90a slake ??
could you tell me what you have for 19a and is 29a slog or maybe slug

[elcee45]

85d what do you have, I am probably wrong with coasts
Louise

[katburd]

errant although I was not too sure of it and slug

[katburd]

85 d I have courts maybe thats wrong as I cant get faded 90 across

[katburd]

louise coasts sounds good for 85 down do you think shade would suit for faded?
Grace

[elcee45]

could be but I have opted for slake, look into it and get back to me, Slake make less active or intense could mean faded?

[katburd]

will do, thanks

[katburd]

louise, slake= to appease thirst

[elcee45]

Grace,

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/slake
it also means to abate, to reduce in intensity, lessen. could mean to fade????
Louise

[katburd]

louise, I did look at that I'm still not sure, on saying that I will use your suggestion for coasts for move smoothly along and I will stick with shade for faded, saying that I'm not totally sure as with errant, but what the heck I'll just post it off, in with a chance anyway, thanks again for help. Grace :-)

[elcee45]
