N aja

Shelled 

Sop ho c le s

13 Sophocles - sops around c (caught) inside hole (difficult situation)

27d naIa - 'aia' is an alt. sp. of 'ayah' (nursemaid)

Shelled: we decided shelling nuts was taking them from their covers.

The problem for me with 27D is that the  cobra is naja, not naia, and naja doesn't fit the clue - or with 29A. What am I missing?
