All I can see is - Beings

Chunky characters oddly - BIG

around/entertaining - EN (IN in French)

Opening of Soiree -S

[dave1948]

Thank you again Mamyalynne..

I think beings is the answer. The only other word I can think fits is Bridge but no way can I see why it would be that.

Thank you for putting up with my incompetence in getting all this in Gaming !

I thought 'dans' was in in French. Not arguing, just asking.

[Mamyalynne]

You are correct, I did say it was all I could see, if there is a better answer bring it on.


Likely my terrible parsing.

dans

preposition
dans
in, into, within, on, inside, during
en
in, into, to, at, of, during

According to my French dictionary :- En-prep in, into, within,at.
