Explanations Please

[nilrac52]

I have two answers for crossword clues that I do not understand. Very grateful for any assistance to explain why these are correct.

Question 1. Additional payment for way bus is constructed? B*N*S
I assume the answer is BONUS. I see bus in the letters but how do I get ON?

Question 2. Produce a thought of a sort? L*S*
The answer appears to be LISP but why?
Many thanks for assistance helping me understand.

''b on us' constructs BUS

[ProfessorMaisie]

thought sounds like sort if you have a lisp

[nilrac52]

Professor Maisie. A big big thank you. Excellent explanations and now I see the thinking. I appreciate your input

[Togo]

If you were to lisp you would say thought as sort.

[Togo]
