MollyL
Most of the dictionaries show it as hyphenated. Die-cast

yes.. for the seven , just drop the last letter...
7:09 pm

only prefix I see is con and I don't think that is a negative -- means with doesn't it?
7:10 pm
BzznBea
It starts like that, nan
7:10 pm
penquis
con means against...
7:12 pm
cybernan

take out the first N of that word...
7:13 pm
cybernan
ok - have it now - ty -- was looking for another n
7:14 pm
