Kicking myself with 'estimable' - at least you got there, Mike!
Louise, I don't think either CULCATE/S or MISFEED/S are listed, though you and Mike certainly bested me on 826.

Oh, GAUCHE, very nice! Nice work to get the 826, Mike and Louise -- like Sam, I missed it.
I'm afraid Sam is correct about CULCATES and MISFEEDS. I'd have chanced MISFEEDS if I saw it within time (I spotted it a little afterwards, and was surprised that the Macquarie did not list it).
