Whisperings - 'h(usband)' (wearing; in) 'wisp (band) e (constant; maths) ring (love token) s(igh; beginning)'

Oafish - "Oh, fish!"

e is the constant (maths) + ring (love token)

2nd one = of fish

1st one = H(usband) in wisp(band) + e(constant in maths) + ring (love token)+ s(igh/beginning)

o (surprise expression) +fish

yes LIK is corect with "oafish"

I hadn't spotted LIK's parsing.
