Not that far off. Unfortunately not right, though.

Nope....here's another clue (not for that combo, but a different one):

Well, I think it's safe to say that this wall is going no further. I'll just reveal the rest of the answers, unless anyone says within 24 hours that they would like to continue playing.

For what it's worth, I've given Adam the points for his reasoning behind Can / Have / Must / Know. The reasoning Penguin gave was that they are all irregular verbs in French (pouvoir / avoir / devoir / savoir), but:

a) I wouldn't be surprised if this was a consequence of them being auxiliary modal verbs, and;
b) I expect they're also irregular in a whole host of other languages, so it would be heavily unfair to pick on French.
c) In any case, I think it's a stronger connection than the one Penguin gave.

What are the other answers?

And I would have never gotten the French one.

I get that one now. Very clever.

So, what were the others?

Perhaps with a bit more thought I might have got sub....

Other than that, I don't think I'd have got the others. Very clever combos :) .

CJ makes a lot with prefixes and suffixes, but I like that.

In desperation, it was a good guess that was accepted.

Yeah, I can be quite liberal with the invented combos. I wouldn't have that on one of my walls as a main combo, though.
