Relating To The Body

[Tissy]

Save the children c/d 20th Nov.
Can anyone help with the last one please.
Without a direction (5).
I have seen Noses and Blind suggested but I just don't think these seem the right answer.

[Mamyalynne]

That's the only one I am dithering with too.

Nose works

No S(outh) E(ast)

But add an 's' to make it 5 and it doesn't.

[Helewel]

Seen as spine

[dannyk13]

How does that parse?

[emeritus]

The person who suggested it

S pi N E=no W for west

Not sure I get how that works ??

[Tissy]

Do you think the setter has the wrong amount of letters.

[dannyk13]

Can't see that, what about pi?

[dannyk13]

That would make sense Tissy, allowing nose to be the answer.

[Mamyalynne]

Emeritus has made the penny drop!

Latin word for 'without' + a Cardinal point.

[dannyk13]

Blimey Lynne that's a bit obscure.

[dannyk13]

I thought Latin for without was Sine and p is not a cardinal point

[Mamyalynne]

Works for me :-)

[dannyk13]

How Lynne?

[Mamyalynne]

+ a cardinal point of the compass.

[dannyk13]

But what about the 'p'?

[cashier]

Think sine with a cardinal point on the end

[dannyk13]

One thing that would work is sine w

[Mamyalynne]

The answer Emeritus gave, added food for thought and I worked out the correct answer as I explain above.

[Mamyalynne]

Aye

[dannyk13]

So sinew is the answer

[Mamyalynne]

aye
