76a moved upwards(5) ???e?
73d sobbed(7) g?e????

Risen?

Are you sure of the letters? Sobbed could possibly be grieved, but obviously not if the e is right.

73d Greeted (greeting is an old Scottish word for crying)

mrs trellis, good evening to you. I haven't heard of that, but there are so many dialect variations. Nice one!

Hi sallyw, it's one of those words which I'm only aware of because of crosswords, despite my Celtic heritage. Hope you're well.

I have been better, but mustn't grumble! It's amazing the words you do pick up by doing crosswords.

Mrs Trellis
I have never heard the word "greeted" as the past tense of greeting.
The word in common use is gret.
Maybe our resident expert on things Scottish,Pipesmoker,could give his opinion here.

Now got some more letters and it looks as if it could be greeted although I've never heard this used like this in the past tense either.
Thanks everyone for your help - can always rely on you!
Did any other daily record readers have this answer?

ACA,
