    The missing vowels/268 Message de marit64 posté le 15-08-2018 à 21:46:34 (S | E | F)
    Hello my dear Marit, thanks for coming here to play with us !
    Hi everybody, mainly to our hard workers' team !

    Here is my work:
    1- A synonym of "nothing". (g t n h) 2 nought/or naught = zéro.
    2- To feel a prickling sensation. (l n g t) 2 tingle = picoter, avoir des fourmis dans...
    3- Food for farm animals. (d r f d) 2 fodder = fourrage.
    4- Pleasant to look at. (m c l) 3 comely = avenant.
    5- To flow slowly through a very small opening. (p s) 2 seep = suinter.
    6- A small boat carried on a larger boat to take passengers ashore. (h d g n) 2 dinghy = hors bord, canot pneumatique.
    7- A strong, usually unpleasant smell. ..... (c k r) 1 reek, je sais, ça ne répond pas à ta demande, mais j'ai fait toutes les possibilités, il en a 16 sans trouver le bon mot ! Sinon rank = nauséabond.
    8- Hard or boring work. (f g) 1 fag = corvée.
    9- A bracelet worn on the arm or leg. (g b l n) 2 bangle = bracelet.
    10- A great change or disturbance. (p l v h) 4 upheaval = agitation, bouleversement, révolte.

    I did my very best, and looked for many interesting pages, by reading them in English language, in the Web! This exercise took me more than four hours just for the word about the seventh question! But I have not found the good answer ! Sorry, I can't do anymore!
    Have a sweet but also a great week!
    Good luck to the players!
    See you soon.

    Hi dear Marit Thank you for this new exercise.
    Hi everybody
    This is my try. Have a nice week.
    1- A synonym of "nothing". ..... (g t n h) 2.-Naught.- Néant.
    2- To feel a prickling sensation. ..... (l n g t) 2.-Tingle.-Fourmillement.
    3- Food for farm animals. ..... (d r f d) 2 .-Fodder.-Fourrage.
    4- Pleasant to look at. ..... (m c l) 3.- Comely.-Avenant.
    5- To flow slowly through a very small opening. ..... (p s) 2 .- Seep.-Suinter.
    6- A small boat carried on a larger boat to take passengers ashore. ..... (h d g n) 2 .- Dinghy (rubber)-Aéroglisseur.
    7- A strong, usually unpleasant smell. ..... (c k r) 1 .- Reek????
    8- Hard or boring work. ..... (f g) 1 .- Fag : First known use 1772 and now fag is an insulting word as well (M.Webster dic.).-
    9- A bracelet worn on the arm or leg. ..... (g b l n) 2.- Bangle.-Jonc.
    10- A great change or disturbance. ..... (p l v h) 4.- Upheaval.-Chambardement.
    Question 7 : Reek might be suitable in this case since a ' c r k' plus one vowel word is desperately infindable. So a new word with the same definition has 'rk' minus the 'c' consonant and a vowel in more which makes two in all, instead of one single vowel of the previous search. I hope I'm not mistaken otherise....
    Jonc : Anneau ou bracelet dont le cercle est de grosseur uniforme (Larousse).
