Also saw that the answer given to 12ac was dribble but surely as 8dn is Egret the answer must be driblet.Clue being Tickled rib? let's show a little bit(7)

Lin means to cease or desist from.
Lin is an obsolete word for cease, found in Spenser.
Linage - print measurement & 'lin' ("cease" - Spenser) + 'age'

Your reasoning re 12a (Driblet) is correct
