11a Describing one with the understanding of the devil. Ans is cloven hoofed (or hooved)
22a The part of the charge threatening evil . Ans is sinister.
I'm stuck with the parsing.

I know the devil is supposed to have cloven feet but I don't get the "with the understanding" bit.
No idea how 22a works

Interesting these clues popped up https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1073682.html but 22a wasn't answered and 11a wasn't parsed.
Thanks

The charge in heraldry is the emblem on the shield so the part threatening evil would bethe left side. Left in Heraldry is sinister.

11a under standing means what is under and what you're standing on.
Ergo, under and standing, cloven hoofs.
Evil reversed is Live, the part of the charge threatening. Sinister can mean left, from the left - Evil = Live if read that way?

If that is correct for 22a, the clue is evil!
I was maybe clutching at straws, in a bid to come up with something!

Thanks, Cashier - that's great.
