Last two help please 16a In phonetics,the substitution of plosive for aspirated or fricative consonants (as p for ph), especially in Greek -S-L-S-S 4d Now obsolete term meaning to spread or disseminate ( a rumour,etc)S-A-A-
True ...it does mean hair loss but it also means ...
In language, it means the loss of initial [h], the aspirate. It usually refers to the process in some dialects of Classical Greek, and then in all forms leading to Modern Greek. http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=121979 0
Hello again Shaneystar
the letters have changed in the last clue I made a mistake and they should now read S-A-S-
The only word I can get to fit is sparse What do you think
Well..according to Chambers ..Sparse ...to scatter
Scatter means to disseminate or spread etc ....I'm not sure really ....not being much help am I !
It would be good to get a definite definition if you get my drift but I don't know where else to look .
I totally agree I think that is as good as it gets. I am convinced that the author has a warped mind
You are always a great help I will go now and leave you in peace Nacnud
Me again

I think Lie in King has got it !
According to Chambers it means to disperse ..an aphetic form of disperse ..which again is to scatter or disseminate .
It's a Spenserian term ..so check that A !
