DT �500 Crossword Last two

[gen2]

I don't normally do GK crosswords but decided this would be worth the challenge this week. Last two.

17a (grid) 18a (clue) Reddish-brown colour (5) ?a?e?
Best I can come up with is CAMEL byt Chambers says yellowish-brown.

32a (grid) 33a (clue) Store of valuables (5) T???E
Best I can suggest there is TROVE but again the Chambers definition doesn't really fit.

Can anyone help please?

Hazel

Trove

Thank you Rose Maybud. Yes I prefer Hazel to Camel.

I now see shawnee was stuck on the same two. and they've been answered below. I went looking for posts under DT �500 so didn't notice it under 'Braingames' . Sorry for the duplicate post.

I think some of these are applicable.

15a (cl) = 14a (gr) = llama
17a (c) = 16a (g) = astronomer
18a (c) = 17a (g) = hazel
19a (c) = 18a (g) staccato
22a (c) = 21a (g) = erratum
24a (c) = 23a (g) = oliver
25a (c) = 24a (g) = laden
26a 51d(c) = 25a (g) = idea
36d (c) = 35d (g) = corps
49d (c) =48d (g) = tonic
40a (c) = 39a (g) = farewell
43a (c) = 42a (g) = reel
47a (c) = 46a (g) =helm
51a (c) = 50a (g) = schooner
52d (c) = 51d (g) = heart
60a (c) = 61a (g) = pate
71d (c) = 71a (g) = rabat
79a (c) = 78a (g) = alabama
39d (c) = 38d (g) = dough
60d (c) = 59d (g) = sensitive

Hope this helps in some small way to resolve the DT screw up.

Will continue the quest to resolve a few more.

Best Regards

I have 'strident' rather than 'staccato', and 'squeamish' in place of 'sensitive'.

Both Chambers and Oxford give the 'offended' option as one of the meanings for squeamish. I have seen it used only in the 'easily nauseated' sense, so it was a bit of a surprise. But you learn something every day :-)

Hi Rose Maybud,

I agree with you.
Thank you.

That will then give,

13d (c) = 12d (g) = sanctuary
66a (c) = 65a (g) = caribou
66d (c) = 65d (g) = cutlass

Many thanks again

With a bit of luck all will be revealed in time for DT to post the 'Void' notice.

Billbo

[Rose Maybud]

I agree with your last three answers :-)

May I ask where a VOID notice is posted? On their website perhaps? Thank you.

[billbo]

Not really sure, but as and when I find out I will most certainly let you know.

Thank you again. :-)

[Rose Maybud]

Thank you, Billbo. Much appreciated!

Right now though I am off to bed to catch up on the beauty sleep. Boy, do I need it!!!

Regards

hello gen2 and everyone, if you tweek the grid between 1a&2d downwards, extend 15a to the right , 76a to the left and66d downwards you can fit in all the answers, I cannot see why this should be voided, (just for a clue list and grid mess-up , when it only needs a little application)i'll still send mine off anyway .Hope this helps

[cliffyg]

great fun and a feeling of success when completed
all done
