I have a problem:
If 26a is lump (marine fish with ventral fins forming a sucker)
and 22d is umber (natural clay pigment)
then one of these 2 words is incorrect. Can anybody enlighten me?

[Oldred]

goby

Thanks, but it isn't goby. I have l-b- for the fish
I have u---r for the lay pigment

[foxwall]

L is wrong because 14dn is ethologist

[Oldred]

14d ethologist

The most distinctive aspects of goby morphology are the fused pelvic fins that form a disc-shaped sucker. This sucker is functionally analogous to the dorsal fin sucker possessed by the remoras or the pelvic fin sucker of the lumpsuckers, but is anatomically distinct; these similarities are the product of convergent evolution. Gobies can often be seen using the sucker to adhere to rocks and corals, and in aquariums they will stick to glass walls of the tank, as well.
