Stuck on 2 -
19a: "Seat providing support" (6)-e---d No doubt obvious, but I can't see it.
20d: "Profession of ship's officer in Muslim territory" (7) --a-a-e
Thanks for any ideas.
Thanks Captain 2 and Baldric. I did do a search on this web site for ST answers before submitting my question, but didn't find any reference to the seat clue. The "d" is correct, so it must be "behind".
I would never have got imamate, as it's a new word to me. Thanks both of you.
