36d Loris

11a Etonian
21a Jute
36d is LORIS (explanation not given)
24a Frau ?
Morning Crofter. Our fellow ABer endanger prefers to work out the word play for himself from the answers given- hence although I provide quite a few solutions I leave it to him to come back if an explanation is needed. K
Question Author
thank you very much to both of you.
I think I can see why it is Frau but with no understanding of German would love an explanation for this clue
thanks
E
E I took a flyer! I believe 'sie kommt' is something like 'she comes'. Also FR+au. I put a question mark as I was very unsure but thought it may fit with the letters you may have.
Question Author
i think you are right. It does mean "she comes"

any idea on my fish?
E
E What is 18 ? Which is where 24a comes from .
Question Author
it is what I imagine is an "unclued light"
There is no written clue for 18d, but there is an 11 letter word required. At the moment I have ?eu????????

Any ideas?
Question Author
thinking about it - I guess it must be Deutschland
Looks good and would explain Frau (up to a point) and Jute
Morning kayakamina, When I posted LORIS I thought I was the first to respond and the message in the bracket was for E (that is: 'E who prefers to work out the word play himself). I remembered this from an earlier posting.

I note however that cars from Freiburg carry the letters FR - presumably AU comes in similar fashion from AUE (although I have been unable to find what AUE stands for - apart from alternative usage english)
Thanks for that crofter- helpful as always.

E The fish one has me stumped ; do you have any letters in place?
Question Author
none I'm afraid
