12a.Report

[Mamyalynne]

16 Ogam _ Runic letters


Old - O + Gam (school of whales)

[Mamyalynne]

Working on the other two - I also have 'report' so far but feels lacking.

[Mamyalynne]

Not Runic but you understand I hope.

So called 'river' on the moon is called a mare but can't come up with a solution.

[aeronut]

Thanks Mamyalynne and DannyK13.
The Moon River clue continues to be the closer here.

[Mamyalynne]

I agree, will keep at it.

[dannyk13]

Maori is from Australia but can't parse that.

[dannyk13]

Ignore that it's New Zealand(senior moment)

[aeronut]

There are Australian Maoris.
Taking that route 12 ac is remark
16ac is ogam
13dn is maori
Maybe, but will continue to struggle.

Try looking for poems by Henry Kendall.

[Mamyalynne]

Thanks so much AHearer.

[aeronut]

Got it- the 1875 poem.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, I certainly over thought the clue.

[aeronut]

I don't know why you say that Mamyalynne.
Kendall is a poet only a specialist would know about, prolific though he was.

[Mamyalynne]

I think as a cryptic clue alone 'One found by Moon' should have clicked - but yes I'm not good on Poets much anyway.
