You guys are too good! I'd never heard of a phyton (had to look it up) and I see there are lots of phyto- words so that was easy for botanists. The everyday word I was thinking of was rhythm.

I'm always surprised how many people misspell liaison!

Well Done.

Wolfgang, I think you'll have to blame the French for finishing this one off.
