Hi bob,

Sass maps require a colon between the key and value, see the below.

$a:(
  color: red,
  size: 16px,
  decoration: uppercase
);

a {
  color: map-get($a, color);
}

i believe its not allow you to use the middle - dash because its concerning as negative so I think try to use underline such as _.

what does the error said?
