When the two words are put together are they used to modify other word(s)? Are they used in a similar way to a "Freudian theory". And if Freud had made a speech in Venice about a particular subject (why did I pick Freud when I know nothing?!) then people may talk about Freud Venetian ... somethings...? | ||

The thing Leob created: was it tangible? a single discrete object? was it the first thing of its kind to be created? or was it unusual in some other way? "Leob Fostat" refers to another thing? tangible? created in Fostat? located in Fostat? similar to what Leob created? | ||

The thing Leob created: was it tangible? yes a single discrete object? no was it the first thing of its kind to be created? yes or was it unusual in some other way? not really "Leob Fostat" refers to another thing? notangible? yes created in Fostat? located in Fostat? similar to what Leob created? Leob and Fostat are not related but there is something very similar to what Leob created that was created in Fostat which is the key to solving this puzzle | ||
