24 ere and C for calm at first then T for time
Question Author
I got that bit but it is the DO I don't get - erect is build - have never heard it used as a synonym for do!!
1: that is = SC. - short form of scilicet
strike = RAP
Do - erect (build, establish)?

Are these the full clues? ;-)
24a: EVENT = do

time = T, calm = EVEN
