Having difficulty in following the reasoning behind 11ac.Adam and Eve, perhaps, turned up moving wood (6). The answer seems to be LIGNUM but can't see why.
22ac.A dynasty to laud - not half! - among the eminences (6). I have TUDORS but am not clear how it fits the clue!
Can anyone come to the rescue, please?

the TUDOR Dynasty (of course)

"laud" - not half - gives UD inside TORS (heights outcrops)

How simple it now seems! Thank you crofter!
tony, Adam and Eve have everybody foxed (for the moment)!
Can you tell us what letter-pattern you actually have, Tony? I ask just in case it isn't lignum!
I don't think it is Lignum! I believe it is Birnam ...reversed= RIB MAN Adam & Eve
Ah, well done, K! That's it, for sure. (C, did you see my response to you re italics in that other Azed question-thread?)
What's the "moving wood" link please?
pquinlan Shakespeare's Macbeth-Birnam Wood where the army was camouflaged with branches and 'moved'
Very good, kayakamina.

That seems to have been a good bit of teamwork. BIRNAM makes sense. Thanks any way from me!
I have used 'lignum', in that a moving wood, as in bowls, is made of lignum vitae.I couldn't get a link with Adam & Eve, so Googled 'Bowling>Adam and Eve' and found links with bowling. However, as another solution has been offered - 'birnam' - I can see the 'turned up' reasoning.
Sorry, folks. I am afraid that I didn't read all the answers beyond kayakamina's RIB MAN.
