Not sure but it is Crib without i ?

bibblebub

(i can't find bassnet anywhere)

emeritus

Nor me Bibblebub

bibblebub

is there a non-honours version of B.A.(Hons) that isn't just B.A. e.g. B.A. (Ssnet) if it was to directly fit the letters

emeritus

Found an alternative spelling of Bascinet ?

emeritus

not sure if this helps ?

I share your frustration with this one tommy-h. I just cannot for the life of me see what this can be because there is no word "bassnet". Are your letters definitely right?

tommy-h

Question Author

definitely right.Submitted with passkey for want of an answer and got 1 wrong.

maxymax

Wow! I would have put passkey too without much confidence - a pass in an exam is a basic pass without honours and as previously pointed out a passkey could be a duplicate (crib). Presumably passkey is definitely the one you got wrong!!

Thats my guess,everything else works well.No all correct subs as yet.Difficult getting into the mindframe of a setter from 1948.Long gone to setter heaven I presume.RIP.

maxymax

Had not realised that it was a crossword originally set in 1948! Perhaps the answer is an obsolete word. When will you get the answers - I am fascinated to know!

Clue,10ac,Subject of sport in the shade.(9) AM?R?L?I?

could any kind person parse this for me?

TheWinner

Its a quote from John Milton's Lycidas.

TheWinner

And strictly meditate the thankles Muse,
Were it not better don as others use,
To sport with Amaryllis in the shade,
Or with the tangles of Neæra's hair?
