Inquisitor 1108

[Indy-trier]

I've completed everything, including the quote, the author and the person referred to. I also have the entries clued without definition and 5 of the affected answers. However I'm stuck on 30Dn and 33Ac. Any tips?

[squarebear]

Not without clues I'm afraid.

[Quizmonkey]

Was CORTILES one of them?

33a (tam)burin

[Quizmonkey]

Oh yes, that was the one that said (9) instead of (8)!

[Indy-trier]

Thanks Quizmonkey! Still not sure of 33Ac.

[Quizmonkey]

Tamburin (tam being the hat) - Spenser's spelling of tambourine.

[Indy-trier]

Thanks mad max. I just got the same answer having worked out there must be a misprint in the number of letters!! I've an answer for 3Dn that fits the spaces and the across clues. It looks sensible but I can't find a definition for my word in any dictionary. Any ideas?

[Quizmonkey]

It's certainly in Chambers, which is all that matters. Try googling it.

[Indy-trier]

Hi Quizmonkey. I looked it up in Chambers and Googled it - therefore methinks I have the wrong answer! Mine was OPTALOGY. I found OPTOLOGY but this didn't fit in with my answer to 14Ac

[Indy-trier]

Hi - me again. I've just found an obsolete spelling for 14Ac so it all works now. Thanks everyone!
