The Week 1309

[Chaseman]

Last two for me to get and I think I know what they are but can't parse:

17a Nothing hidden from view of bird's wing ?I?I?N looks like Vision but why?
22a Pass over captain for bowling S?I? looks like Spin [ditto]

22 skip?

[mallyh]

17a pinion

[mallyh]

part of birds wing^^^

[Chaseman]

Thanks Mallyh. I can see Skip now but how does Pinion come about?

[mallyh]

take o off opinion

[mallyh]

opinion = view

[Chaseman]

Thanks Mallyh. Clever.

If these were your last two clues, you must have got 5D. How do you parse that?

[Chaseman]

Sorry this was a month ago, I will have chucked the issue by now. Spell it out and I will see if I can remember.

Llareggub

The fictional name Llareggub was derived by reversing the phrase "*** all". In early published editions of the play, it was often rendered (contrary to Thomas's wishes) as Llaregyb or similar.
