Thanks a million for your your reply but could you please explain....must be really stupid.

Please see my post on your original thread.

Clell, it would make things a lot simpler if you posted this on the original thread.

Forthcome:
From Middle English forthcomen, from Old English forþcuman (“to come forth, proceed, arrive at, succeed, come to pass, come true, be born”), from Proto-Germanic *furþa- (“forth”), *kwemaną (“to come”), equivalent to forth- +‎ come.

Loculus:
: a small chamber or cavity especially in a plant or animal body

so all I can decipher from the above is "be born from a plant/animal cavity". Maybe something to do with "springtime".
ie: spring lamb, new shoots, etc

Thank you Busby for your explanation.

Clell,
I don’t have an answer but I would be wary of “forthcome loculus” I think that this is the result of putting your letters into a random anagram solver which generates all the words that can be derived from the letters without reference to sense. I am sure that Olbib was trying to help and acted in good faith but I don’t think that this is the answer for which you are looking.

I found such a site, put in your letters and got this-

good afternoon.firstly apologies to clell,ab and busby.i did indeed use an anagram solver search engine to get the answer to your anagram clell.on second thoughts i had never heard of it!,but the letters did fit! sorry to mislead anyone.you guys are amazing on this site! (keep it up).very best wishes to you all.clell,dismiss my answer,as im off to sit on "the naughty chair".regards Oblib xx. busby and ab,ever thought of going on eggheads?

Thanks olbib, what a gracious reply. No need for the naughty step when trying to help someone.

thank you ab,i hope you are well? i heard this one on my local radio last night.100 houses in a street,1,2,3 etc.when you reach house 100, how many 9's have you encountered?

20? (assuming all are used and no tricks with inverted 6s being used)
9 19 29 39 49 59 69 79 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 and two for 99?
Of course if you walk on the even numbered side of the street you would only encounter 5 nines...
