any thoughts kaya on 4 & 5
deave is a scottish word meaning deafen , plague torment or weary

BB I'm thinking about them, but I suspect they are Scottish words and I do not have a Scottish dictionary!
If I asked you if you were confident of your letters what would you say?

When used in connection with poetry, scan is a term sometimes used for the words or syllables fitting the rhythm of the poem. Not sure about cluer; the only meaning I know for this word is to do with giving someone a good thumping!
