Sorry I couldn't make a word from GHAZI, and the rest of the work day was a complete blur.....but Pling's entry of 'PAIGH' is an abbreviation: (albeit the only entry to follow GHAZI....good job Pling!!!!)

PAIGH: Pan-American Inst. of Geography and History

Does that count, Sypher?

I can't believe no-one could follow my entry for yesterday....WOW !! As for Pling's entry...it doesn't count as it is not a full word but an abbreviation...which in my book is the same as an acronym (which is invalid)

Scores with only one day to go....

Sypher..........144
Bridelady.......143 (11 points added for challenge on Pling's entry)
JabberWock.......98
Pling............60
Mamaja...........52
