Clue/Question: The obstetricians started their business together, and now they’re part of the – – –
Answer: LABOR MARKET
(Yes! It’s a labor of love! LABOR OF LOVE will be a future Jumble answer, folks. It will either be another obstetrician pun, or perhaps a midwife or doula pun. WordPress does not recognize the word doula! Stinking Limeys! LOL!
I suspected that “aloha” might come up as a new clue word, and it did! But, I was a little surprised that “sweaty” did as well. It seems very familiar. Did we have it in the last month, or so? My latest version of the ralis95 clue word database is from fairly early June. All four jumbles came up as new. The answer letter layout was a fine eleven letter jumble. I saw/figured MARKET before I came up with LABOR.
Cute cartoon. It looks like the one female doc has her hand on a sonogram machine. There are balloons and a stork carrying a baby on the wall. Fun Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Both ALOHA and SWEATY struck me as words new to Jumble when solving. They’re not on my challenging word list and didn’t make that list today as I needed only a brief moment to untangle each of them.
Maybe you saw SWEATY in Cryptoquotes, Unc?
I’ll note that we haven’t had SWEAT as a regular Jumble word either and won’t, because those letters would also unscramble to WASTE
LOL! I don’t think I’ve ever run into SWEATY in the Cryptoquote, David. Maybe SWEAT, but not SWEATY!

I realized the same thing when I was searching the ralis95 database, David. Maybe, because SWEAT isn’t eligible, no one ever thought to use SWEATY. Still, it seemed familiar to me. Maybe the heat was just getting to me! — YUR
Yeah SWEATY really doesn’t fit the Cryptoquotes mold.
I could see SWEATY (or SWEAT) being used in a Jumble puzzle final answer, but I’m not remembering that either.
It could’ve very well been all in my mind, David. (Such as it is.) — YUR
