Sedation? What about the “c”?
May 12th, 2008 at 9:27 pm
In tough cases as such, it is ok to continue with the last letter only.
Can you think of a word which starts with -ics- or -cs-?
May 12th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Not many. My dictionary actually lists “CS gas” as a word.

onwards…..
I checked Webster’s College dictionary for possibilities such as wards-, ards-, and ds-.
Nothing. So I take the liberty to change the last word from onwards (adverb) to
onward (adjective)
June 12th, 2008 at 10:21 am
wardship
June 12th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
onwards -> wardship
No need to change
wardship -> hippopotamus
