Jazzy, Re 7D and 4A
I 've had the same problem - couldn't do 4A because I had 'INapt'. Thought of 'cloudburst ' if I had 'u' instead of an 'i' but rejected the idea because I thought 'INapt' cam from an anagram of
an
It (alian)
P(ut)
???????

hi Elle
Unapt comes from point (pt) and Una (an in Italian)

Thanks everyone. Hubby had put 'inapt' in, not wishing to pass the buck...
