Question Author

Many thanks, writesbad! For one living in France, I should have seen this one!
What say you about 11a? Un grand merci d'avance!

writesbad

11a Yes, sounds like (Lord) Reith

Matakari

Question Author

Yes, the sound has it for this one, I see. And this one which I'm trying to parse:

31 Northern Dutch settler hides blunder (5 ): ?O?E? ( BOWER )
( DEF Dutch settler, but "hides blunder"? )

writesbad

31 the answer is ***, a silly mistake
N(orthen) inside (hides) Boer, Dutch settler

writesbad

Automatic edit of word which also has a vulgar meaning
But you can see the answer by putting "n" inside Boer

Matakari

Question Author

Ok, I see it! In fact, I paused for a long time on that word with the n.
Thanks again!
