Thank you guys.
I thought Locative was the seventh one.
But that and instrumental are not often used.

so 26 cells it is.

The only one I cant parse is:

Bottom left - assume it is ablins - a bins round £

Is it Scottish? - not in my old Chambers but if right it will be in latest

Yes, it is a Scotticism jigjag. It's in the 13th ed Chambers entry for 'able' - ''aiblins or ablins ... or yibbles ... adv (Scot) perhaps''.
I'm surprised it isn't in your earlier edition.

Oh thanks drxx

You are right - it is not listed in alphabetical order itself in my 1993 edition, but is under "able" with the others you mention.

I really must ask for a new one as a Christmas present.

I think your old Chambers must be hanging on by a thread by now jigjag.
