Is 'Ledgier' a word in Chambers later editions? I only have the11th Edition. The supposed meaning would be to have more shelves or ledges.

'Ledgy', having many ledges, is in my 12th edition. I think 'ledgier' would follow on from that in the same way as 'busier' and 'noisier' (which aren't specifically given in Chambers).

In Chambers 12, there is ledgy- having many ledges. As "ledgier" is the comparative, it would not have a separate entry but looks kosher.

From the Spelling Rules at the start of my Chambers...
' Adjectives ending in y preceded by a consonant generally change the 'y' to 'i' in the comparative and superlative:
happy happier happiest'.

Thanks Malone and ab. I've been away for a good while, but back on the chain gang again - I'm a bit rusty...but let's not go there with that mega-thread ;-)

You're welcome, Harlequin - it was an interesting little question. I like puzzles/queries/information about words, spelling, usage and so on.

Pleased to see you are still around, Harlequin.
