Is this celt?

And is 63D: hold in contempt DESPISE OR DESPITE, I have found both to fit the explanation, but didnt know if they would be accepting both. What are you all entering?

Hi mrsgreen663
Celt n. A native speaker of a modern Celtic language or a descendant of such a speaker, especially a modern Gael, Welsh person, Cornish person, or Breton. Hope it helps.

Hi MrsGreen

For 24d I have "celt" as submitted by farkha

63d = 'despise' See below for explanation. Hope this helps.

Have to agree with you, it could be a toss up, either way. My gut feeling is 'despise' but perhaps somebody else may offer an equal argument for 'despite', lets wait and see if we get more responses.
