l have been struggling with these clues for several days, l think l know the answers but they do not fit the grid, so l am asking please for some help
132a ancient storage vessels (>I>HOA)have other words intermingling with this word
117a half diameter (>A>I>S),
133D figure of speech (>>O>E)
79d drove leisurely (T>D>>>>)l do have other words that inermingle with this clue, both ending with eiher d or s
Okay, this is a litote: I tootled to find out the radius of the amphora.
@margsy,
Hi Margsy.
Is your letter count right for 132a? If it has another letter then I agree with Timur on AMPHORA. Also on RADIUS.
133d could be TROPE
79d could be TOOTLED or TODDLED
@margsy,
Thank you cherrie,leball and timur, liked how you phrased it, still looking for 234a five-card gAme(??K?RE)
85a hallucination (P?L?B?U?)
will be glad when finish this, thanks again all of you for your help. ttfn
@margsy,
l have found the answer to 132a ancient storage vessels, it is PITHOI, and it has solved the other little probs l was having in that area.Just a few to find,then its bye bye stinker. Thanks to all who helped.
@leball,
Not too sure about that.
I'm wondering if Margsy has given us the wrong clue, or the wrong set of letters.
@cherrie,
Thank you all, for 85a hallucination l came up with DELIRIUM,It fits in nicely with all the other clues, thank you again.
