Mladi?
Oh yes! Congratulations! And there I was just about to give you the number of letters...... Here are the letters for the other one: E flat first encountered by an Indian housemaid - violins initially bringing up the rear. (7, 2, 5) Tommo |

Every spirit's stark - nothing f? Not like this!

Smetana Ma Vlast I finally worked that one out on the way to a concert this evening and was convinced someone else would bag it before I got home. But no! Hurrah! |

Go George! Ma Vlast is right. (Hope the concert was good by the way.....) For anyone wondering what is going on, here are the component bits of the answers..... 1. Month we hear an east European put his son in a note.
Jan (a month) acek (heard as "a Czech", an east European) mi (a note) lad (his son) mladi (lad in mi) 2. E flat first encountered by an Indian housemaid - violins initially bringing up the rear.
S (E flat) met (first encountered, the first was perhaps a bit offputting... sorry) an Ama (an Indian housemaid) V (violins initially) last (bringing up the rear) So you still have to get..... Every spirit's stark - nothing f? Not like this! Have fun! Tommo |

A distant God on a neighbouring cloud has asked for a clue. So, the letters are: (10, 3, 4, 2, 6) Tommo |

A proto-exclamation that is believed to have been mankind's first laconic comment on the passing show and one which has come in remarkably handy ever since. Maybe it's all we really need? |

Tommo,
That "ama - Indian housemaid" is a bit obscure, isn't it? I can't find the word in any dictionary except the complete (20-volume) Oxford English Dictionary, which says that an ama is a Japanese woman who dives for shellfish and seaweed. (It adds that it is still regarded as a foreign word.) Were you thinking of an aia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmahAmah or ama. Sorry if it was a bit obscure, but I've always spellt it without an h, and I thought it was fairly standard. But then what's well known to one is not to another and vice versa. Tommo |
