@Sylvan,

I have a couple of Latin dictionaries left from the distant past. They have 18 different words for 'to scatter'; I've ruled out several as the particular meaning doesn't fit, but I still haven't found it. Have checked the past participles of the irregular ones but still doesn't ring any bells.

Type in Google
Latin for scattered
Then look down the list

@Sylvan,

Thank you, Sylvan. That verb was ninth on my list... I am constantly amazed that just a slight difference in wording can come up with a whole different set of matches in Google. I'd already typed in something very similar, with no result. And as I had the dictionaries it would have been really nice to have been able to use a book for once! Now on to my last five.

@Sylvan,

Found a couple more today. The ones I still need are 29, 38 (which I don't understand at all) and 46 (for which I still have to follow up the hint already given). Can I help with further clues for you?

@Sylvan,

33 I got nowhere googling 'Scottish cathedral birds nesting' but found the answer when I typed in a particular city.
44 good hint given in previous posts
49 googling the name comes up with the right book, but I have to admit that a colleague found the actual name. I don't know whether she read the whole book....

@gardengnome,

Q 49 done thank you
Q 38 you need to look for a western about the man in question, then look at the minor stars

@sophocles,

Still grappling with 29 but 'Turkey' theory is good possibility. I assume motto for 47 is the obvious one? Any further hints appreciated. Merry Xmas all!

Finally found 38 and 46, thank you. Now to go into lateral thinking mode for 29.

@Sylvan,

Q46 Part of the answer isn't seen on T.V. at Christmas anymore but 29 has me completely beat.I can see the possibilities of a turkey but can't find any evidence for that or anything else.

Q38) Hopefully we shall soon see its epitaph.

@Opsimath,

Yes indeed, Opsimath. I'd just got there. Actually, any carving that doesn't involve a turkey is a good thing (not a ref to #29, just a seasonal comment).
A very happy New Year to all on the forum.
