Hi All. 4D Buffs, bananas & headbutts N?T? I have Nuts but don't get it.  13D Desitious, Mutinous. ?R?A?I?O?S. Thanks in advance.

[brainiac]

13d  Traitorous

[brainiac]

4d  Triple definition

[maureen]

HI brainiac, I have paradiddle for 20A and timpani for 22A so the A and the O in traitorous doesen't fit.

[mallyh]

13d Treasonous?

[writesbad]

treacherous

[Neveracrossword]

Could your Timpani be TimpanO?

[brainiac]

Nothing fits that letter pattern, and I think you mean 'seditious'

[newmodarmy]

Must be timpano (although I don't know the clue) and treasonous

[maureen]

Hi Timpano is an italian dish, and timpani is a drum.

[maureen]

Sorry brainiac, your right, I did mean Seditious.

[Neveracrossword]

Timpano, a kettledrum, has its own listing in Chambers, and there's also typano as a variation. Timpani, tympani is the plural.

[ubasses]

Is this any help,

Timpani is an Italian plural, the singular of which is timpano. However, in English the term timpano is only widely in use by practitioners: several are more typically referred to collectively as kettledrums, timpani, temple drums, or timps. They are also often incorrectly termed timpanis.

Thank you very much. You're correct.

[maureen]

Thank you.
