From pottery days, I would go with A - but I don't think it can be the verb, surely, with ~ate ending?

I like "k" but somehow it's just too ingeniously thorough...and my kudos to "j" and all Diarrhea-Inducing Sadists everywhere! But my vote goes to M, because it seems so lonely right now. And because I think it's a verb.

I'm very tempted by g. I notice the board's medical adviser has not voted. Is this because he knows the answer and is too sporting to give the game away? Yes, g it is.

I can't remember whether I voted via PM or not, so I'll say (A) if I didn't
