This question was also asked on another well-known site, and a link to Tupic was given there, last night.

Thanks but unfortunately that link is inconclusive.

Thanks, Claire. I think Tupic will prove to be the correct answer, but it's not in any of my three 'big' dictionaries and seems elusive to track down on the Internet. I think it's resulted in rather a poor clue!

I'll let you all know in January when the answers are published.
