The caterpillar of the tiger-moth (5,6)
hairy / - o - b - t

46a
Measurement by the ell (7)
a - l - a - e

thank you in anticipation

[ontarioice]

46A measurement by the ell is ALNAGE but that doesn't quite fit your letters.

[ontarioice]

46A Meaurement by the ell is ALNAGE but that doesn't fit your letters.

[seekeerz]

allnage is an acceptable spelling, pandabear

[JRB]

7d hairy woubit

Please help me with 25d - God willing
i* / a*l / *o*s / *e*l

Many thanks

Hi there, JRB - how're you going with it ?? I've managed the theme & got the 'extras' done, but I'm stuck on 25d too. Not sure what language it's in

[ageing fast]

How about "if all goes well"?

[seekeerz]

oh just too good - aging fast

[seekeerz]

whoops !! helps if I spell things right - I could at least get the name right sorry, ageing fast [think that's what I'm doing]


Are you doing this puzzle or just helping out ? Cos if you are, I'm also looking for 35d and 28d thanks in optimistic anticipation - S

46a - I found the spelling - AULNAGE - but have not found it spelt - ALLNAGE. Does anyone have any thoughts on this one???

[seekeerz]

think the 'aulnage' is derived from the French, but also
found 'all' though I think you're probably correct JimJools

[JoolsTwo]

Thanks seekeerz. Any thoughts on 28d - I have found Urediniospore - but this does not fit and seem to have come to a full stop now. Its my last one. I have
u?e?i?s?e?e - unless I have gone wrong somewhere.

[seekeerz]

I've still got 28d and 35d too, to find so still hunting. S

[JoolsTwo]

Ok I just found another spelling for 44a which makes my answer fit now. All done now.

[seekeerz]

Good one - so please tell me what you've got for 35d - is driving me nuts !!

[kayakamina]

35d Langrel

[seekeerz]

Thanks kayakamina - it wasn't in any of my dictionaries & google wasn't helping either

[JRB]

28d can also be "urediospore" which does fit -!

As for 46 a I think "aulnage" is the French version but I did find "allnage" as an alternative in a couple of English language dictionaries so I went with that.

[kayakamina]

46a The spellings accepted by Chambers are Alnage and Aulnage. So double L is out.

[JoolsTwo]

Yes I had that spelling too JRB, but it didn't fit because I had the wrong spelling for 44a. Once I had corrected that it fitted. Thanks.

[pandabear]

well - I have woken up now to see all this discussion!!

langrel is correct .... so it must be the AULNAGE spelling for the ell

25d it is the ENGLISH language!! the God Willing one is ...... IF ALL GOES WELL (i.e it is plain English as against being something more religious ....

thank you JRB for the WOUBIT ----- (I had found oobit, but it did not fit!)

It is UREDIOSPORE

thanks everyone for the help
