Hello pega,
The only thing that I could find in reference book on spirits and demons is Etna , that is all I could find that fitted in. So have gone with that, after like you searched for ages. Fingers crossed its right. Someone might tell us different.
Thanks mancunian, and so glad I asked as MLN rugby has given us the answer many thanks to you, MLN I've now
looked it up an the clue was misleading as polyanesian spirit which of course includes NZ. I only know etna as a vocano, this was certainly an interesting puzzle no wonder they got it out early, I alway run off two copies so will ink the other one in and post on Monday, Good Luck hope you had a good day up north was lovely here in morning then a storm and dark by 2pm.near the fens
Thanks very much for putting us right. Could only find ETNA that fitted in wasn't sure about though. But yours of course is the right one. Good Luck if you are doing the crossword.
Glad you asked the question as I would have gone with ETNA. I enjoy doing this crossword certainly stretches ones mind. The weather today here has been the same as yours and still raining.Good luck with the crossword.
