Thats what i said, "however insecurely." I felt lost's usage referred to the act of submitting, which is not completed, hence the hold is future ie non-existent, not just insecure. The coyote must already be on the cliff and dangling precipitously.

Of course, im not the published writer - im just the dastardly critic!
