In that case, I wonder if the word was actually prosecutrix and I mis-read it. I can't check because, although I wrote down a letter and number reference I have no idea which catalogue! Seems more likely-
"A female victim of a crime on whose behalf the state is prosecuting a suspect" (Wiktionary)

Thanks.

I love those words, which I have not heard before: persecutrix, persecutrices, prosecutrix and prosecutrices.

I see you as a persecutrix ... mesmerising `batters` with your devious spin bowling!

Thanks Tyke, Nice to hear from you.

The changes to England' schedule have worked well for me. A Test at OT and a ODI to replace T20 match. I am thinking of booking a day at Leeds. I have not been for years. Is there plenty of street parking?

ODI??
Actually don't tell me, seems like it is cricket.
Street parking? Last time i parked on the street in Oxford, it was £8.90 for two hours. On a Sunday.

Pleased OT have got a Test. When I go to Headingley I travel by train - Burley Park is the nearest station to the ground, approx 15 mins walk away. Don`t recommend trying to park near the ground for a Test match - County 4 - day matches yes! There is a park and ride bus service to the ground if you have to travel by car but Headingley is a very congested area - hope you`re keeping well!

Grunger, Jono and Rosalind.

The -rix and -rices words were great, very novel-looking. I think I might stumble over them if I tried to inclued them in everyday conversation!

Sorry to take the thread in a different direction, but I am constantly amazed at the things I learn doing crosswords. Just now I learned that the game of tag is called “tig” in the UK.

It was also called “it”. As in when it was your turn, you were “ it”.

Tig isn’t familiar to me, I think as children we would have called the game “it”
