Hi gagacool

you could have carried on posting on your first thread (as an answer) about this, it keeps it all together for others and it's a bit clearer.
I gather this is still about this clue?

e?e?r?

it does seem your crossing answers are correct, I'll keep working on it!

yes can still only find 'emeers' (alternative emirs)as was suggested on an earlier thread.

not sure how it fits the clue though...

Thanks Bunty and Chelle i got emeer as well but i could,nt find that word in the dictionary thanks again for all your help Its the only word that fits

Hi gagacool - can you tell us where the crossings occur - ie with "forcible" is the "e" at the start of the "e-e-r-"?

Yes Paul that e is at the start

You're welcome

In that case I have to agree with chelle and Bunty and conclude that the clue setter had to take an emergency call half way through this clue!
