55a ... light fitting designed to hang from ceiling; also, nautical term for tapering flag. is there some confusion here? the answer to the first seems to be pendant but the answer to the second looks to be pennant. can anyone elucidate?

[dannyk13]

55a. Pennant is an alternative name for pendant. Hope this helps

[cathfromsaron]

pendant works for both i think?

[JoolsTwo]

I've put Pennant.

[JoolsTwo]

[sincnoel]

thank you again. i'll go for pendant.

[dannyk13]

Pendant does noit fit both parts of the clue. Pennant does

[JoolsTwo]

I think I would go for Pendant - in Chambers Pendant makes reference to a nautical term but it doesn't have any reference under Pennant. I could be wrong though. :-))

[cathfromsaron]

pendant *does* fit both

[dannyk13]

Pennant is a tapering flag

[dannyk13]

Pendant does NOT fit tapering flag but pennant is in trhe dictionary as an alternative to pendant

[Spreeny]

So have we decided on pendant?

[DSGM]

Pendant is definitely the right answer
