Dactiles, dactil is an alternate form of dactyl. It is hardly used though, so I get not including it.

hmm there was another one I wanted to look up, but forgot. Slaited sounded real but isnt, I guess maybe I was thinking of slanted and slate or something.

Sifhraven: no. 'Dactil' is not a word. It is rather irritating when you, not a native Anglophone, try to lecture us on how to speak our own language. I am glad that you can use this site to increase your knowledge, but you need to learn when to keep silent.

Good series, thank you very much.

At time of writing, it appears the answer table has the answers for 3 and 4 mixed up.
