p astern
back part of ship = p
astern = back

Past (back) and stern(back part of ship) = pastern (part of horse's leg)

i could well be wrong danny but wouldn't your parse give paststern?

No I don't think so, the setter has merged the words in order to arrive at the solution.

... but that leaves 'back part of horse' which isn't pastern

I would go for back part of shiP being the P and astern for back, part of horse being pastern.

Thanks Mac. I boobed.
