Help, please. Would someone please confirm that 3d is KEELMAN. I know it fits, but the definition does not really correspond with the clue. Thanks in advance for any help!

[Lie-in King]

You're right with 'Keelman' - Chambers has -

(keeler or) keelman - (n) someone who works on a barge

[jeremykayp]

Thanks. In Wikipedia it defines it as someone who works in shipbuilding.

Hi lie-in-king me again another one to interpret M.O.S. 11, Dn etude or study ???

[Lie-in King]

Hi again :-)

Etude - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/etude

[Lie-in King]

Apologies, ^ in para "Thesaurus"

[minotaur333]

Etude is French for Study. In UK used by musicians to mean a study piece,
Trust me, I'm a musician!

[puzzlecat]

not disputing answer , but both fit the clue.

I would love to join in this thread, but as the clue is not given cannot.

[Lie-in King]

Hi gc - keeping well, I hope?

It was - "Short musical composition for a solo instrument" - ?T?D?

[grasscarp]

I would go for Etude, so what was the clue for Keelman? I am fine thanks LiK. Just back from a business trip to Namibia followed by a boot camp in Lancaster. I know how to live! Hope life treating you well.

[Lie-in King]

'Keelman' clue was exactly the Chambers def I gave...

Other than a cold, I'm fine thanks, you jet-setter, you! :-)

Apologies to jeremykayp for the extra traffic...
