I suspect that your T is wrong - it looks like DAWN Sodium = NA W = Wolfram (an ore of Tungsten). I assume D is short for 'would'?

Hi bullfrog-great confusion here!I now like your wordplay for 'dawn'. However, another site agrees with my 't' (from 'roysters')!So ?A?T may be correct (the 'a' is from 'epicarp',ie epic ARP).A\So any other thoughts?
