39 (so)Lent

[ProfessorMaisie]

FOUR (thematic) [grain = 'f[l]our' wasting 'l']
heREIN[minus 'he'] (thematic).
'wins' is the extra word, hankir.
['not so'] soLENT (thematic).
rearRANGE (thematic).

[roslyn251254]

32 rein from (he)rein ....reins are kidneys

39a is one of the "4" i think....

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry, Captain2 - should have refreshed before I posted.

[ProfessorMaisie]

39a is one of the 12 thematic definition entries (as are the others I've mentioned)

[roslyn251254]

...sorry ..i meant one of the 12 not 4!

[tedsgran]

34d It sits on sauces of burning alcohol,ethyl and sodium! (4) E???
24d Run after to tend orchard (6) VERG?? verger?

Are the 1st 2 words in the perimiter in French?

[ProfessorMaisie]

ETNA and yes to VERGER (thematic).

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, all of the words are (the last one exactly that).
The misprint for ETNA is in 'sauceR', tedsgran.

[ProfessorMaisie]

I guessed it was just a typo, roslyn, but thought it best to mention it.

[hankir]

Thanks Captain2,ProfessorM, Ros.
tedsgran, I also have the first two perimter words in French but no idea what the rest is yet. I hope the whole perimeter is not French.

[tedsgran]

yes it is all in french but you must "almost" have the person ...wins being one of the "4"... so he will help!

All done now...thank you Prof M

[hankir]

Thanks tedsgran.
My knowledge of French is close to zero.
Next few letters after the first two are PR?NE?G?RDE. Don't know any French words that fit.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Use your 'a','e' and 'z' to make 2 words there, hankir (6+5).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...'Google Translate' will help.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
I got the next two words.
How many more words and lengths?

39a. Slow may relate to Lento but missing the connection.
Have to find the other three.

[ProfessorMaisie]

2,4,6,7 (the last two words are what you'd do out loud, thematically).
If you put LENT into 'Google Translate' (on the French side) it'll give you the def written in English in that clue.

[roslyn251254]

after your 6,5 .....2,4,6,8


stick with lent (not lento)...once you have the last word of the message , you'll see what i mean.....

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, roslyn is right, I miscounted the final word.

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM and Ros.
Got the quote, speaker and location. Also year. Now to find 12 words in French.
Found the 4 extra words that give the speaker.
