I cannot find that in7, I think I have tried everything. Can anyone clue it, please

6:12 am

mattygroves

Tough word to clue. It's an Italian plural - in+ price *** (or *** you're it) then consonant and vowel.

6:12 am

mattygroves

It is the plural of a word meaning incised carving, as opposed to carving in relief.

6:12 am

player girl

thank you Mattygroves, on to do research on carving...

11:50 am

hokie carla

just looked it up, but thanks. not that I would've gotten it with that. 🤣🤣

11:51 am

hokie carla

MollyL

With stuff like that you just have to do a Google search on the definition
