Ignore mine

[shaneystar2]

Yes scows is better .I'll amend my copy !

[shoota]

I think you are correct Shaney....

I'd never heard of stots.

[shaneystar2]

In my Bradfords it defines steers as stots ( as in cows/oxen)
But your answer makes more sense .

[shaneystar2]

No ,think I'll go with stots after all .A scow is a boat .

[shoota]

I think stots is best, but it almost feels like there is something missing from the clue.

[magistra]

now I'm really confused! I thought of SCOWS but can only find it as a boat , although COW = Ox + STEER(singular) in S---S. Thanks for the other answers, though. So obvious!

[magistra]

Sorry, I meant COW = OX = STEER

[shaneystar2]

The definition is steers so I think it must be stots but I can't see how it works ...sorry :)

[writesbad]

isn't it simply the plural of stot which is a palindrome?

[shoota]

Well done WB!

[writesbad]

[shaneystar2]

Doh !
Thanks for clearing that up writesbad .

[writesbad]
