It's me again. Can anyone start me off with 1a in today's Inquisitor? 10 letters. Clue is: science on origin of Siamese cat is developed, tracing unknown family. I have ??C??MET? S. (There is a complication in that there is a possibility of one or maybe two letters missing, ie word could be 11 or 12 letters in length)

Sociometry?

I tried that, sallyw, but the S at the end seems right...so still puzzled. Thanks anyway.

1A is straightforward clue, no double letter cells.
Def is Science.

1a does have a double letter near the end

jogamel - your c( and your a) are wrong - i have sade for 3d - 18th letter hebrew alphabet

Sorry! Yes it does. Hope I have not caused too much confusion.

I need another push, Nelson and sudoku lover. Please tell me if I am tackling this systematically? If so, can I ask for help with 10a? Composer drops soprano for a creative leader of trio? 6 letters. ?RA??A.

False alarm for 10a! I had it in pencil all the time...but I shall be back no doubt as swimming against the tide today...thanks for your patience...

Jogamel, 10A def is'creative leader of trio'.
