Lingo: Pass the Torch Edition

[Jake The Wolfie]

Not like it mattered anyway, Whatever word Not_Mafia cooked up is neither in Webster or Collins

[ORAM]

ASTI

, as in the Italian wine? Usually capitalized though.

That's not a possible grid. There's nowhere else for a second S to go.

[Not_Mafia]

Sorry, the second S shouldn't be coloured, I have edited accordingly

[StrangerCoug]

Don't forget the guess up in #2451, too.

[Not_Mafia]

Asti can be a common noun as the wine, but Merriam-Webster and Collins only list it as a proper noun for the region in Italy

[ORAM]

Someone else can take this one

[StrangerCoug]

I think we can give ORAM the benefit of the doubt here. Every dictionary specifically named in the OP has it as a capitalized word if it lists it at all, but it's rare for common nouns to always be capitalized in English. There's some precedence for this, too.

[StrangerCoug]

Very well, then, I will take it.
