many thanks danny

ProfessorMaisie

Could it be 'tre ill e' - I don't follow the 'inside tres' idea (but then 'tree' is singular, so why 'some')?

dannyk13

Maisie, I read some as referring to part of trellis

ProfessorMaisie

Possibly, dannyk13 - although the, 'up it' part is badly placed for that to work (but I don't really like 'treille' either).

dannyk13

Does not up it relate to ill being reversed? Whatever is correct I thiunk it is a bad clue, and I'm not fond of setters using foreign words unless there is some indication of that.

ProfessorMaisie

Treille is in Chambers - 'a trellis' (but, yes, it is French).
I agree, it's an odd clue if that's how it reads - because 'up' should come after 'it' to reverse 'ill', i think (also, is 'installed' strictly necessary after 'some'?).
It would help to know where the puzzle comes from.

jim360

I prefer treille, as in "tree" = "some[thing] to train up it", although I also agree that it's a rotten clue. In the interpretation above, why not actually use the word "something"?

dannyk13

Just hope that the crossers will indicate which answer is correct.

bobbinwales

A think the clue do's say sOMETHING not some as it did when it was used a few year's ago

Thank you Bob, that settles it,I hope feeston comes back to this thread.

ProfessorMaisie

Well remembered, bobbinwales (and from 2011 - that's some memory you have!!).

bobbinwales

My memories like a goldfish, the only way a can help with crosswords (except sports ones) is to type the clue's into Google and may be claim the answer as mine

dannyk13

ProfessorMaisie
