Definition of "quadrat": Quadrat (n.) A block of type metal lower than the letters, -- used in spacing and in blank lines. (n.) An old instrument used for taking altitudes; -- called also geometrical square, and line of shadows.
I found a glossary of printing terms, but it didn't have "chase": http://home.vicnet.net.au/~typo/glossary/theme-h.htm

Whew, I see I'm not immortal! I think mine fell under the almost-got-it-right category. Here's what I sent: "Ooh, ooh, I love this! "Words that are words but can become other words when a letter is added to the beginning"! (rotund---> orotund) Oh, how awkward that was, but I don't care! Can't wait to find out the theme! :-)"
When the last word came 'round, I sent him:
"If beheading is what you call it when you take a letter away from the beginning of a word to make another word, what do you call it when you add a letter at the beginning to make another word? :-))"
No answer.
