Hmmm...no idea. I need a think!

keep thinking...it's logical.....not so cryptic....I'll leave it for a while and then maybe..if requested...give ewe a clue  ok ?





No more takers ?





OK, here is the answer..I stumped ewe all but congrats to JC for getting almost there.



Each one of those words are the meanings behind the mythological God names of the planets............... MERCURY-God of Invention, VENUS- God of Love etc etc...the reason why the third one is blank is because EARTH is not named after a mythological God....see ?

If we're talking Roman deities, then there was an Earth god(ess)...

Quote
Terra Mater or Tellus was a goddess personifying the Earth in Roman mythology.
The names Terra Mater and Tellus Mater both mean "Mother Earth" in Latin; Mater is an honorific title also bestowed on other goddesses.

Well, I can see where ewe are coming from and yes 'Pseudohypoparathyroidism' might indeed contain the letters to create 11 pronouns but they're all jumbled up.   This particular word has the pronouns right there for ewe to read in non anagram fashion !

*le joy*

Upon successful clearance of your cheque I will send ewe the gum...I may chew it for a little while longer if that's Ok.

I will also complete a direct debit form for you to continue your monthly subscription to 'Chewed-Bubblgum-Monthly' where for the small fee of £300 (monthly) I will send ewe a brand new chewed gum.**









**on rare occasions....like....12 times a year ewe'll receive a polite note to go buy your own gum and chew it then send it to yourself but mark on the envelope that it's from me. This helps keep my costs down and will reduce your annual increase to only 90% instead of 100%

On second thoughts, I'll just go with the "glory" of getting the answer.

Please keep your gum for the winner of your next tricky puzzle, Speaking of which . . . how about it?
