lovatts stinker 56,

[kellee]

I would like to say a great BIG thank you to all of you who have helped me today, l am only left with 160d, Male gypsies (L>MA)tried all ways but nothing as yet,and also we are still trying to find the answer to 71d, Full ofmeaning (GRA>I>),one poster gave me a name but not sure if that is really the right answer, will plod on, once again thank you all

[novalis]

Full of meaning = gravid.

[novalis]

Male gypsies are Roma.

[kellee]

Thank you novalis.another poster said the same word but came up with a different meaning.

[novalis]

Gravid = pregnant = full of meaning.
Roma is given in Chambers.

[kellee]

To novalis, thank you at long last meaning for male gypsies, do not have chambers dictionary,will have to get one of my brood to buy it for me, they are always buying me diction arys and thesaurus,but they are always OXFORD, as that is the one l have always used,thank you once again

[mazie]

I knew Gravid as being pregnant and thought it might apply to full of meaning but wasn't sure. Glad novalis was around to clarify :o)

[novalis]

Pleasure to help. Point out to your "brood" that practically all.crosswords recommend Chambers. That might lever them into it.

Happy solving.

[kellee]

Thank you mazie for your help today, l have now completed the stinker, but whether all myown answers are correct remains to be seen, to give my brain a rest l am going to play solitaire, once again thank you all for your help

[novalis]

To Maizie,
Full of meaning is a definition given in Chambers for pregnant. By extension gravid should ( by a stretch of the imagination ) have the same sense.
