Thanks leon for your help . Now to get back to the difficult part of how to enter the features .
Cheers!

I don't see any ambiguity in 'ivory' versus 'small'. 'Small' is clearly the nearest adjective for that particular feature.

But I'm surprised there has been no discussion about the hair? 'Red' or 'Harsh'?

'Harsh' is surely the nearest adjective ... but how to depict that?

.... hair's red .. in the next line - equally near and surely more suitable for what we need to do in the grid?

sudokulover,

How is 'red' equally near? 'Harsh' is adjacent' to hair in the previous line. You can't get nearer than that.

Poor preamble, I think. I suspect that BeRo missed 'harsh'.

Oh well.
