Vespers-inept


I've searched and the only suggestions for ersine I've come across is as a family, name, hence a proper name, or the search engine came up with ursine as a solution. πŸ€”

Is it Scots Gaelic, or German? Even in French it only exists as a family name. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Or were you thinking of something else? 

Help!!!

Well, I was thinking of Ursine but Grammarly didn't intercept it, probably because of the hyphen. 

Sigh... I'll try again. πŸ™„πŸ˜‚

Thanks, Anna, much appreciated.

Hmmm, here's a conundrum.

As far as I know, no word in English begins with thm or hm. And I have searched without success.

So, here's what I've come up with. 

Th'matic - kettle 

(eliding the vowel as could be the case when speaking)

Second option, use rhythmic rather than rhythm:

Rhythmic - rondeau

Or? I don't know. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€”πŸ˜³

It's your call, Anna. πŸ˜‰

Lisa, you have to use the previous, newly formed word, which was not teaspoon. Check back to page 1 of the game for the format.

So back to Anna's word. And upwards and onwards mineralogically speaking πŸ˜‰

Partial explanation is, the link was copied to my clip board, but I don't know how it (or I), actually created a link, when I was posting here. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I intended to post the link in a thread regarding the competition, because it is such an interesting story, but as we know, when it comes to πŸ‘»πŸ‘»πŸ‘», strange things happen.
