Can someone help me? This is from p.24 (lesson 6 grammatical forms crossword.) The clue for 19 down is "of the flight." Would that be the ablative form of fuga? If it is, then the answer would be "fuga." But there are five spaces and the last letter is an "e."

Any help is greatly appreciated!
God Bless,
Anna

"fugae." But I'm not sure how this is the answer.

Thanks!

It's genitive. The two most common ways to show possession in English are "of the" and apostrophe-s. If you see those in English, you need a genitive in Latin.

HTH!

That does help! The lightbulb is shining now.
